London Open Gardens: Telegraph Hill

approx 18 gardens open Telegraph Hill, Southeast London
Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2026
2.00pm to 6.00pm

The Telegraph Hill Garden Club is made up of local amateur gardeners keen to share experiences of gardening on the hill with our mix of slopes, clay, aspect, trees, more trees and our love of this green corner of South East London.

Over the years, some of us have opened our gardens to the public as part of the Telegraph Hill Festival and, with funds raised through donations (including gardeners offering plants and refreshments), we have supported local green projects including roundabout planting, street trees, and, most recently, the next generation of gardeners at Edmund Waller Primary School.

Our gardens are not perfect, they are honest local gardens with gardeners willing to share what we have learned about our local conditions and habitat.

Proceeds:  This year we will be supporting the childrens' kitchen garden project at Edmund Waller Primary School - you'll be able to see their work in progress over the weekend as they are one of our open gardens.

Plant sales:  Our gardeners have been busy seed sowing and propagating and there will be plants for sale over the weekend.

Cost:  Entry is free but we welcome donations, including those raised through the sale of refreshments and/or plants

How to get tickets / programmes:  No need to buy a ticket.

Number of gardens:  Approximately 18 gardens will be open, but the total may vary from day to day - please contact the organisers if you need exact numbers.
