The Forest Hill Garden Group invite you to come and visit 6 breathtaking private gardens located on the TLERA estate as part of the National Garden Scheme.
Featuring six very different gardens on the highest hill in SE London with spectacular views over London and the Downs. The gardens are within a short walk of each other, but a yellow ballooned ‘taxi’ service is on hand (donations) for those with mobility problems. Wander in a bee friendly organic flower and fruit haven with vintage summerhouse, gravelled terraces and billowing grasses. See an evolving plants-woman’s garden, now with prairie planting in the sunny dry garden contrasting with a new watery fern garden. Also new for 2017: a small meadow, an ever changing story trail for children, and new chicken breeds in an eclectic country style garden. Delight in an artist’s studio in an c18th courtyard filled with sculptures and plants and feed the resident robins!
Enjoy an embroidery of a garden with vibrant colours and breathtaking views. Unwind with delicious cakes and listen to music from a talented duo amidst the drifting pastel hues of the tea lady’s garden inspired by Beth Chatto – and Mary Berry!
Great views everywhere. Plants for sale at 25 Westwood Park, 27 Horniman Drive and 7 Canonbie Rd.

TLERA AGM Tuesday 21 February 6:30pm
Annual General Meeting – Tuesday 21st February 2017
All residents are invited to our AGM to be held at Horniman Primary School on Tuesday 21st February at 6.30pm.
The AGM will be followed by environment themed presentations covering: an update on our street trees campaign; an overview of wildlife on our Estate by the London Wildlife Trust; and the new Butterfly House in Horniman Gardens.
Carols by Candlelight update
On December 4th 2016 around 100 TLERA members, friends and children gathered in the Triangle (the enclosed garden between Horniman Drive and Liphook Crescent) to sing traditional carols and seasonal songs, ‘heedless of the wind and weather’ – it was cold and very breezy! It was the first time that the Association had held such an event, which as well as being a get together for TLERA members, was a fundraiser for the charity Crisis at Christmas.
The Triangle was beautifully decorated with candle bags and fairy lights. There were mince pies and stollen, and the mulled wine mostly flowed freely. The carols were led by a small group of singers from the Estate, with the song sheets illuminated by hand held candles in jars. All in all it was a lovely event which members really enjoyed, and £220 was raised for the charity.
It is hoped that this will become a regular event. If any other singers or musicians would like to join in the planning for next year, please do get in touch. Thanks to everyone involved for helping to make this such a success.
