Annual Teddington in Flower to bloom again this weekend
Teddington in Flower is returning this Sunday (18 May) with a variety of private gardens opening their gates to the public for a day of community, colour, and charity.
This year, 15 garden owners have agreed to open their gardens, offering visitors a rare glimpse into some of the area's most beautiful private green spaces.
Among the 15 gardens are the community gardens at Elleray Hall, which is on display for the final time before the site's relocation, and Fullerton Court.
Alongside the garden visits, visitors can enjoy refreshments at the St Mary with St Alban church hall, listen to a handbell performance at the church, and browse a plant sale offering garden treasures to take home.
As always, proceeds from Teddington in Flower will raise funds to support local causes, including the Landmark Arts Centre for the upkeep of tits woodland gardens, and the Kingston Samaritans, both of which are vital independent charities.
A portion of the funds will also be set aside for a new local planting initiative dubbed "The Corner Patch"—a proposed transformation of the currently unused plot opposite St Mary with St Alban Church, pending council approval.
The event, which will run from 2pm – 6pm, will include a fundraiser by The Teddington Society, with tea being served from 2.30pm – 4.30pm.
The handbell ringers will perform at 3pm and again at 4pm at St Mary's Parish Hall on Langham Road.
Visitors can also browse the plant sale stand in the Landmark Arts Centre gardens.
Ticket prices include:
- Advance tickets £8 (children under 16 free) via Ticketsource
- On the day £10 at the Landmark Arts Centre gardens (on sale from 1.30pm)
- Your ticket gives you entry to all the gardens (12+)
You can find a map of the gardens here.
Except from assistance dogs, no dogs are permitted in the gardens.
