A fascinating and very diverse collection of gardens in London Fields within easy walking distance of each other. At 84 Lavender Grove there are twin south facing gardens, a courtyard with a tropical backdrop, and a highly scented, romantic cottage garden. At 36 Malvern Road you will find a little gem of rills and mirrors and forest pansies. 92 Middleton Road is elegant and serene with a circular theme inc roses, acers and examples of stone lettering. At 84 Middleton Road lies an unusually large secret garden where you can wander down meandering woodland paths and forget you are in London. The other two are north facing with much the same space but totally different styles. 53 Mapledene Road is an established plantaholic’s garden in five sections with not a spare unplanted inch. 55 Mapledene Road has a Moorish-inspired terrace leading to a wildlife garden with plants chosen to attract birds, bees and butterflies. A fabulous afternoon to see six such contrasting gardens.

These gardens will reward you with much fascination as they reflect the wildly different interests of the owners. The contrasts are big. Where else could you find a tiny jewel cottage garden near a large woodland walkabout? A paradise for bees, a tranquil elegance and a plantaholic’s near chaos? Come to Hackney and spend an afternoon discovering gardens as diverse as the borough we live in.
