Discover brilliant city garden tips from three unusual London gardens. The Skip Garden is a portable garden on a building site, The Eversheds Sutherland roof garden grows veg with views of St Paul’s and the Vestry House garden is a secluded haven built on the ruins of an ancient church.
They are all open for London’s Open Gardens Squares weekend, held annually in early June, but if you can’t get to London, see them here.

Very interesting. Gosh there are some clever people in this world & wow the volunteers do a fabulous job!
I thoroughly enjoyed this 🥰🌹🌿
Very good video – well done! Excellent and very interesting. Thank you.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing – something different to do in London.
Excellent use for very different urban spaces. I really liked the second garden—the rooftop garden with the beehive and pollinator plants. A workplace nature oasis. 🌿🌼
Thank you for sharing that great information.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing 🐝🌸
Clearly the fairies directed this video but you should tell them to stay out of your close ups, so bossy, it looks like the insects are coaching your dialogue. Love the Skip garden concept.
That last garden was so inspiring. I’ve stolen some plant combinations from that. Great to see some shade gardens, as it can be difficult to find options. As a gardener with a north-facing plot, I love to see how other people manage.
