Description:

A unique chance to see an inner-city prison garden, planted and maintained by inmates.

The prison grounds are large with a variety of open green spaces. The central garden boasts seasonal flowerbeds, a conifer bed and standard roses, set in grass and surrounded by low clipped hedges.

Planting against the perimeter walls is restricted for security reasons, but other garden areas contain mature trees, which play host to a wide variety of birds, and a pleasing selection of shrubs. Seating areas allow visitors to enjoy the view.

Please do not be put off by the rules and regulations - we would love to see you on the day!
