September 15th
Bushey Rose Garden
Experience one of the hidden treasures in Bushey. Bring a picnic and together enjoy the peaceful ambience of this delightful garden. The garden was opened to the public in 1937. Sadly the garden
became neglected and suffered from vandalism. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery and Big
Lottery Fund ‘Parks for People’ programme from Hertsmere Borough Council, the garden received a much needed cash injection to fully restore it to its former glory. It was officially opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, Countess of Verulam on 23rd July 2010. Please contact before 8th September to let her know you are coming.
October 20th
