David Gilbert has kindly invited us to sketch in his garden, which is open on Sunday 8th September as part of the National Gardens Scheme (NGS), but is open specially for us on Tuesday 24 September. David is a recently joined member of Islington Art Society.
The address is 12 Lauradale Road N2 9LU. The NGS website for the garden is https://ngs.org.uk/gardens/12-lauradale-road-n2/ and for the garden itself https://davidgilbertart.com/garden/
Do click on the links and see the photos of the splendid garden with its very special Mediterranean tropical themed plants. The garden is the result of a seven year planting and design programme by David and his wife Mary Medyckyj.
The garden is to be found 300 metres from the 102 and 234 bus stops, 500 metres from the 43 and 134 bus stops. It is 10 minutes walk from East Finchley tube station. There is a CPZ in operation from 11 am to 1 pm so forgot coming by car as there is nowhere to park.
Meet at 11 am at the house. Please make a charity donation, the National Gardens scheme is collecting for Health and Nursing Charities.
Please bring sketching stools. There are some benches but not enough for everybody.
Please bring a packed lunch and any tea, coffee or cold drink that you want.
There are loos available in the house.
And two last minute images from Audrey Rapier of our previous outing to Regents Park Road.
