Would you like to help out?

We are always keen to welcome volunteers to help out with gardening and maintenance, as well as the Committee. The more volunteers we have, the lower we can keep the membership fee!

A splendid Victorian pleasure garden

Markwick Gardens was originally conceived and laid out in 1860 as part of a grand plan for Eversfield Park.
