Long Crendon; A community of gardeners

There is a picturesque village in Buckinghamshire called Long Crendon that perhaps not many have heard of, but its starring cast of gardens and garden owners are sure to put it firmly on the map. A changing cast of gardens, great and small, have been opening for the National Garden Scheme since 1978 - some for longer with Barry's Close chalking up thirty years this spring. They bring together open vistas, lakes, organic gardens and natural swimming ponds, formal planting, vegetable patches, wildlife areas and orchards, but what connects them all is their owners passion for gardening and the health benefits that brings with it. Join some of the garden owners now as they share their gardens which have helped take the stress out of isolation at this difficult time and provide daily solace and moments for mindfulness in their busy lives.

During the lockdown of 2020 our ever resourceful garden owners created films of their gardens so we could keep the garden gates open online.
