Cultivating, celebrating and championing London’s green spaces We hope you enjoy Open Garden Squares Weekend, organised by the London Parks & Gardens Trust. The London Parks & Gardens Trust aims to cultivate knowledge and appreciation of London’s rich green infrastructure, and the people who care for it. Through our activities and events, including our flagship Open Garden Squares Weekend, we celebrate the beauty, ecology and value of London’s parks, squares and gardens, and help protect them from threats and decline. We share some of the additional funds generated during Open Garden Squares Weekend directly with participating gardens: in 2018, we were able to give £5,280 to local groups across London that opened their gardens for last year’s event. Throughout the year we champion the need for urban green space across London. To do this, we rely on the support of active volunteers and members as well as grants, donations, sponsorship, subscriptions and bequests.

Join us or make a donation online We are a small charity. It costs over £50,000 to deliver Open Garden Squares Weekend, and we rely on donations and contributions to champion, celebrate and cultivate London’s green spaces. Please see our website at www.londongardenstrust.org for information about our membership package or to make a donation online. If you are interested in volunteering, we have a wide range of roles available and would love to hear from you.
