Location: Facebook

Our Head Gardener Sophie Walwin will once again invite you to step (virtually) into the Somerville gardens with her this Friday 13th May at 13:00.

On the 15 minute live broadcast, Sophie will share the spring finery of the borders and discuss her plans for the summer. She will also give you a behind-the-scenes look at how the gardens are being transformed and protected during the preparations for this weekend’s Somerville-Jesus ball.

To watch the video on Facebook Live, visit https://www.facebook.com/SomervilleOxford on Friday 13th at 13:00. Like every Gardens Live, the broadcast will also be available to watch again later on our Facebook page.
