This summer Kensington Gardens sees the first Allotment to open in the Royal Park since World War Two. Encouraging visitors to 'grow your own' and recycle waste, the free to enter garden includes a bee hive and hen house which should prove especially popular with younger visitors. The sustainability message is bourne out by the garden itself which is organic, provides lots of examples of how to be 'green', and has largely been made out of recycled
materials - the majority of which have been taken from the St James's Park Allotment which
closed in 2009. You'll find the allotment, open daily throughout the summer, located on Buckhill in Kensington Gardens - next to The Magazine and just off West Carriage Drive.
About Kensington Gardens
Technically two different parks, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are in practical and historical terms one huge, merging expanse. Almost every kind of outdoor pursuit takes place within its 625 acres (275 of which belongs to Kensington Gardens) all year round. Horse-riding, rollerblading, swimming, boating, tennis, cycling, bowling and putting are just some of the formal activities catered for, while informal games of cricket, football, rugby and rounders regularly sprout up in the 'Sports Field' on the south side of the park.
