We’re looking for Gardens …
Our Teddington Society garden lead, Jo, needs your help. We’re planning to hold Teddington in Flower, our popular open garden event, next year on Sunday 18 May 2025. The event has been a centrepiece of the Society’s calendar for many years and, when last held in April 2023, it was another great success, providing a very enjoyable day for visitors and raising over £3,500 for charity.
We’re now in early planning for next year and the most vital ingredient will, of course, be the gardens.
Do you have a garden you could be persuaded to share for an afternoon?
Do you have a Teddington neighbour or a friend with a garden that would interest others?
Have you spotted a Teddington garden with kerb appeal that you could recommend?
Garden owners don’t need to be Teddington Society members. The only requirement is that gardens need to be accessible via a side or back gate, not through the house.
Last year we had 12 wonderful spaces – thank you all you lovely owners! It would be great to have even more next year, from all around the town - big ones, small ones, shady, sunny, exotic, gravel, vegetable, wild (very trendy), courtyard, etc, etc… real gardens! They don’t have to be show gardens. If they are loved and cared for, that’s just perfect. It’s all about exchanging planting and planning ideas, successes, mishaps and celebrating the individuality we all bring to cultivating our plots.
If you can answer yes or maybe to any of the three questions above, please do get in touch with Jo Nicholds (gardens@tedsoc.org.uk) for a chat or to ask any questions about the event. She’d be delighted to hear from you.
