Bedminster's Secret Gardens

Gardens across BS3, Bedminster, Southville, Ashton, Bristol, BS3 1ES
Beginners Guide to Growing Your Own Cut Flowers

About

When you think of Bedminster in central / south Bristol, what do you think of? Terraces of brick houses with tiny gardens, small yards and doors that open on to the street? Have you ever wondered what's hidden behind the houses? They might be small, but they're perfectly formed.

Get inspiration, enter a world of plants and see creative, productive and beautiful gardens. Take a look through the keyhole - you'll be surprised at what you find.

This summer, local people will be opening their back gates so that you can discover the secret gardens of Bedminster, Southville and Ashton. Many gardens will be opening for the first time. You can visit gardens on both days (some gardens will open on one day only). Printed guide and map available from Riverside Garden Centre and Windmill Hill City Farm from mid-May, and from bloomingbedminster.org.uk

This year Bedminster's Secret Gardens is raising funds to support community gardening and environmental projects across greater Bedminster.

Please make minimum donation of £3 per adult at the first garden you visit. You'll receive a sticker and can then visit as many gardens as you like over the two days. Children free, well behaved dogs on leads welcome at many gardens.
