oan Arnold and Tom Heinersdorff kindly opened their lovely garden
in Deansway N2 under the National Garden Scheme on Sunday 8
J May. It was a great pleasure to be able to visit and meet Suburb
friends all enjoying themselves. The garden is cottage style with shrub
and climbing roses, clematis, a tamarisk in full bloom, a beautiful
camellia with ‘raspberry ripple’ blooms to name just a few. I particularly
love the Saxifragia Urbium (London Pride) edging the central bed
complementing the statuesque deep purple lupins which remained slug
free which I never seem to manage.
Cakes and tea were proving very popular. So, to the plants for sale
and Tom’s very attractive wooden bowls which he makes himself and
were being sold to raise money for the North London Hospice.
Tom and Joan were delighted that more than 275 people attended:
over £2,450 was raised for NGS Charities and £1,550 for North London
Hospice. Joan is actually the NGS volunteer for the Hampstead area
and it was a real privilege to be able to enjoy this lovely garden.

you they are both real treats). Saturday 25 June 2-5pm: Marie Curie
