So is Harringay Open Gardens different to the National Gardens Scheme?

Harringay Open Gardens is a community organised initiative for local people to visit each others' gardens. The National Garden Scheme is, as it says, a national programme that has been running for many years, where a small entrance fee is charged to raise money for charities such as Macmillian and Parkinson's UK. Both very worthwhile, different schemes.

Thanks Liz, I see that one of your neighbours also has their garden open on the same day:

Linnette Ralph’s Garden at 12 Warner Road 

2-6pm. There will be tea and cakes and a plant sale (which will be outside the house on the pavement as last year)

 

Liz Roberts' garden at 11 Park Avenue North

11am -5.30pm  This garden is an unusual T-shape and is full of exotic plants such as aloes, agaves, palms and bananas.

Yes, and I think there's a couple of other NGS gardens in the Crouch End area open that day too.
