The secrets of the Boundary gardens

Guided tours with Arnold Circus gardener Andy Willoughby

Join head gardener Andy Willoughby for an intimate guided tour of the Arnold Circus gardens on the Boundary Estate - a biodiverse haven in the East End. This is your last chance to take a stroll round the garden with Andy before he hands over the mantle of head gardener later this year. Very limited availability. These tours will be followed by Land, justice and landscape at Arnold Circus: an audio panel discussion which can be booked separately.
