Great to see that step-free access on the terraces is taking shape. We're looking forward to offering more accessible walks in Crystal Palace Park once the works are complete.

Love this time of year — the planting’s changing with the season and the air’s full of autumn colour 🍂 Plus, George Irvin’s Funfair has arrived to make it even brighter 🎡 #AutumnVibes #SeasonChange #GeorgeIrvinsFunfair

A bit of autumn colour and pollen 🐝 in the museum flowerbeds that we planted up this time last year.

A pop of colour 🤩 This stunning Amerine hybrid — a beautiful cross between an Amaryllis and a Nerine — brings the best of both worlds. Bold, graceful, and full of life.

Work is progressing at speed on the terraces in Crystal Palace Park! With the balustrades being cleaned, the statues representing South America and Sheffield are now standing out more clearly.

It’s all happening on the terraces! For statues representing Turkey and Sheffield who have been here since 1854 this must be quite a change. Dante joined a little later, but he too finds himself surrounded by scaffolding and repair work.

Today after our gardening session, we shared a lovely treat. Lucrezia from Bici and Baci used figs harvested by our volunteers to make jam and this delicious cake. A simple and sweet way to enjoy the fruits of our work together.

Foraging Friday! Well… not quite. These grapes have been lovingly tended by our volunteer gardeners, and this year they’ve rewarded us with an edible crop 🍇

The flowerbed at the Vicar’s Oak nearest the bus station is in full sun on an exposed site with poor soil. A constant case of trial & error for plants that will survive in our changing climate. We’ve been really pleased with these Aster amellus 'Forncett Flourish' from Old Court Nurseries #gardening
