Tales from Duck Island Cottage

We are Open Garden Square Weekend and we celebrate London’s little-known green spaces. For one weekend every June around 200 gardens are opened up to the public. Palaces, prestigious garden squares, roof and community gardens - all take part. We’re based at Duck Island Cottage – in St James’s Park, so we are really at the heart of things! Our blog will explore a unique garden every month, leading up to the June event, hopefully giving you ideas and inspiration.
