<p><font size="1"> The gates of over 70 of London's most beautiful
private garden squares will be unlocked, for one day only on Sunday
10th June, as part of the fourth annual London Garden Squares Day.
The event provides a rare opportunity for the public to marvel at
many of the capital's hidden green oases, which range from romantic
woodland walks and "Quiet" gardens with pergolas, wisteria
and passion flowers, to charming Japanese gardens and secret "children
only" play areas.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">London Garden Squares Day is a joint initiative
between English Heritage and the London Historic Parks and Gardens
Trust, to raise awareness of the diversity and beauty of garden
squares that are scattered throughout London. It hopes to draw attention
to the great contribution the gardens make to the capital's culture
and the importance attached to their continued conservation.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">The unlocked gardens will play host to more activities
than ever before including live jazz bands, Pimms tastings, classical
music recitals, Punch and Judy shows and traditional English cream
teas. Th event also provides keen gardeners with an opportunity
to pick up some top gardening tips from the owners of some of the
capital's most beautiful gardens, as well as the chance to purchase
plants and flowers from some of the squares.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Twelve new venues will be taking part for the first
time this year including Brompton and Nevern Squares in Kensington
and Chelsea.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Proceeds from ticket and refreshment sales will
go to participating Garden Squares, The Groundwork Trust and London
Historic Parks and Gardens Trust. Day tickets for admittance to
all participating squares cost - Adults £5, Children under
12 are free.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Tickets are available on the day from participating
garden squares. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">For further information members of the public should
call 0870 333 1183</font></p>
