About me

Grenville Johnson & Alan Elms.
**********************************************
An award winning, inner - city garden in Bristol, U.K
that is open for private viewings during the summer months and for the National Gardens Scheme.
It is probably the smallest to open for the N.G.S and measures 20 feet by 18 feet.
It is packed with luscious,exotic container grown plants.
The garden received much acclaim on B.B.C televisions 'Gardeners World' September 2006.
It was featured again on 'Gardeners World' on Friday August 10th 2007, a special programme about urban gardens that was presented by Joe Swift.
It has also been featured in numerous gardening magazines and national newspapers as an example of 'innovative inner city gardening'.
In 2006, the garden was featured at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, having reached the final six in the Daily Mail National Garden Competition.
There were over two thousand entries.

We hope you will be able to visit at some point, and share our passion for small inner city gardens.
