WANTED: 9cm pots!

Square or round — we’re not fussy. Here’s a photo of exactly what we’re after, with a water bottle for scale.

If you’ve bought plants from the Greenhouse, could you please have a look and see if you’ve got any of these pots tucked away? We’d be very grateful if you could return them to us.

And only 9cm pots, please! 😊

Thank you!

PLANT OF THE WEEK: Hyssop

This week we’re featuring Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis), a beautiful, aromatic herb with spikes of blue flowers that are loved by bees and other pollinators.

It’s a sun-loving, easy-going perennial that’s happy in a well-drained soil and makes a lovely addition to a herb garden or sunny border.

A useful herb, a pretty flower and great for wildlife – what’s not to love? 🌿

We're delighted to share some wonderful news!

Thanks to players of The National Lottery, Alexandra Park Greenhouse Group has been awarded £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund.

This funding will allow us to continue employing our RHS-trained Lead Gardener for another two years, supporting our volunteers, expanding our community activities and helping even more people experience the benefits of gardening and green spaces.

As a volunteer-led charity, this support gives us the stability to grow our work, from educational workshops and community events to providing advice and plants for local schools, charities and community groups.

A huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and to everyone who supports the Greenhouse. We can't wait to see what we can achieve together.

🐾 Are dogs allowed in the greenhouse?

We’re often asked this, and the answer is yes! Well-behaved dogs on a lead are very welcome.

Some of our volunteers and visitors are a little cautious around dogs, so we simply ask that they stay close to you while you’re visiting.

And for our four-legged friends who are especially well behaved… there might just be a treat waiting in the shed. 🦴🐶
