Open Gardens- Sunday 26 May: Open Your Garden this summer!
This is the 11th year of Open Gardens and it is always such a lovely afternoon! We’re looking for new people and new gardens to join in! Gardens in HG come in all sizes and styles and we’d love to showcase more of them.
Everyone involved is a local resident, no one is looking for manicured lawns and hot tubs! Visitors will have similar gardens and they just want to see what is possible in a suburban garden. What you’ve done with your child’s trampoline and swing set? What you’ve done to attract wildlife to your space?!
You can sell a few cuttings, and some cake too! If you wish to take part this year, please drop an email to Info@ourhithergreen.com You can also get in touch if you would like to speak to people who have previously opened their gardens for advice/ reassurance!

Christmas Trees For Sale at the FUSS Christmas Fair!
Christmas starts THIS Saturday at the FUSS Christmas Fair on Staplehurst Rd!
Pick up a beautiful, freshly cut non-drop Nordmann Christmas tree from the Hither Green Community Association stall. Come early and secure a tree as they are always sold out by the early afternoon.
Trees are available in all sizes.
Proceeds from the trees fund the work of the Hither Green Community Association all year, including the planting of street trees! Once again they will be donating a 12ft tree to the congregation of St Swithun’s Church on Hither Green Lane.
Pro-tip: wherever you buy your tree, most likely it won’t have roots; so keep the tree well misted with a water bottle sprayer or have it stand in some water. Your tree will keep fresh well into the New Year!
