Each year gardens in Redland or
Cotham are opened to RCAS members and guests, usually one Sunday in June. We
divide the area into three: Cotham, East Redland and West Redland, and feature a
different area each year. This gives the owners a chance to rest and see other
gardens whilst their gardens develop and mature. Those taking part are invited
for drinks the afternoon before and have the opportunity to view the gardens of
the other gardeners present. A thoroughly social affair!
Some gardeners take the
opportunity to raise money for good causes by offering teas or selling plants.
If nothing else, it is a chance to meet your neighbours – something many have
little time to do.
Lower down this page you will find
photographs of some of the open gardens in each area, showing new members the
delights of Redland. We hope they might encourage more members to open their
gardens.
The generosity of gardeners is
really appreciated by everyone, and new gardens are always welcome. If you would
like to open your garden please contact Jane Powell 01179 732743 janepowelluk@yahoo.co.uk
or Sarah Watson on 0117 944 2626

Thank you to everyone who makes
this event such a success and an annual joy for the residents and gardeners of
the Redland and Cotham area.
