Beyond the tumult of London streets lies a green and peaceful world: a network of secret gardens and squares, many secluded behind walls and locked gates.

On June 12–13, 2010, dozens of private gardens in London will go on display for the weekend. Tourists can sample the best of English garden design. Even longtime Londoners may discover gardens they didn’t know existed.

Open Garden Squares Weekend is organized by the nonprofit London Parks & Gardens Trust. More than 190 gardens took part in 2009, and just as many are expected in 2010. Many will welcome visitors with guided tours, special exhibits, plants for sale, children’s activities, refreshments, and music.
