They may not be the fire horses of the lunar new year but we’ve always thought these statues are an elegant addition to the oriental corner of the Garden. (Archive photo May 2022)🐴🌻 #whickham #gateshead

The great camera mystery.🔍 Why is that birds or flowers suddenly seem to hide when we want to take a photo?! We know we’ve seen snowdrops somewhere in the Garden somewhere but… Here’s a photo from 2017 just to remind us.🙂🌻 #whickham #gateshead #newcastle #snowdrops #nature #gardening
A great talking point in the Garden a few years ago, the Ent created in 2013 by local artists. Sadly the Ent did not last a few harsh winters, but was loved by visitors! 🌻 #whickham #gateshead #tyneandwear

It may be a little chilly to sit out around the pond but you may have noticed that our fabulous Garden volunteers have been busy giving this area a facelift - replacing rotted boards with lovely new screening. Cosy corner?😨 Lovely in the sun!🌞🌻 #whickham #gateshead #northeastengland #garden
❄️ What a difference a few days make! Why not enjoy a warming drink in The Orangery - perhaps a delicious herbal tea? Look at just some of the choices! We recommend the cranberry and raspberry tea 😃☕️ #whickham #gateshead #tea
Enjoying more colours of autumn.🌺🌻 #whickham #gateshead #garden #gardening #flowers
It’s Pumpkin Spice Latte season once again and The Orangery is the perfect place to enjoy one. Perhaps a delicious cake too? 😋☕️ #Whickham #Gateshead #Newcastle #NewcastleUponTyne
A very vocal Ring-necked Parakeet was a flyover garden tick this morning as I tended the moth trap early doors. #Whickham #VC66
September's such a lovely time of year in the Garden as summer turns into autumn. Our great volunteers have a very short breathing space before all those leaves start to fall!🌻 #Whickham #Gateshead #NorthEastEngland #Newcastle
As the season turns this colourful plant shows its full colours. Memories from this time last year. We called it a begonia rex!🌻 #Whickham #Gateshead
Dahlias are particularly lovely at the moment. Here's an archive photograph in the Garden from 2016! 🌺 #Whickham #Gateshead #Dhalia #Gardening
Horizon Scarlet geraniums are looking particularly lovely at the moment. (Photos really cannot do them justice!) You’ll find them on display as you head up the steps towards delicious tea and refreshments in The Orangery! 🌺☕️🍰 #Whickham #Gateshead
The Orangery in the Garden is the perfect cosy spot for a late breakfast. On warm sunny days, we can all sit outside and admire the views!😀🍳🌸

Hello #NorthEast! We are a secret Community Garden in #Whickham with an Orangery Cafe. Stunning views. Wildlife Pond. Wendy House for the little ones. Why not pay us a visit soon? ☕️🍰 #Gateshead #TyneandWear #Garden #Community
The glorious colours of this eryngium (sea holly) and euonymus never fail to delight year after year by the playhouse. They make a lovely background for so many other plants too. Could we ever pick a favourite?!🙂🌻 #Whickham #Gateshead #Gardens #Gardening #Plants
Did you know that Bees can help Foxgloves to reproduce when they drop their pollen? They are looking particularly lovely here at the moment! 🐝 #Bees #Whickham #Gateshead @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves quite how far things have developed in the Garden in the past 20+ years. Compare this image of David Peacock starting clearance work with the same spot now (last week’s photo)! Phew!😯🌻 #whickham #gateshead #tyneandwear #garden #gardening
Just look at these delicious treats from The Orangery in the Garden. Why not pop in and see what's on offer this weekend? Always something to enjoy! 🧁☕ #Whickham #Gateshead #Cafe
Always a bit of a “Wow” moment when first-time visitors come through the gate & didn’t realise all of this was tucked away behind Front Street.🤫 Of course, even regular visitors don’t quite know what they’re going to find on their next trip either! Enjoy!🌻 #Garden #Whickham #Gateshead
The azaleas have been pretty this year but with a very short flowering spell due to the drier weather. We have lovely memories of this corner of the Garden in 2016 when the ericaceous plants were absolutely showing off!🌻 #whickham #gateshead #nefollowers #tyneandwear
2/2 One day he announced he’d found an unusual daffodil tree. Of course it was 1st April! He’s greatly missed by his friends here at the Garden & our thoughts are with his family.🌻 #Whickham #Gateshead
It’s that time of year when the Garden gets a bit of a refresh. Thank you volunteers for revarnishing the benches and the playhouse.👏 Looking smart!🌻 #Whickham #Gateshead
Sign in the Garden explaining the history of Whickham Hermitage Community Garden.
You may (or may not!) have noticed that the history board's moved. The high winds brought it down a few weeks ago so we took the opportunity to move it further along the top path for ease of viewing. It’s had a bit of a clean up too!😀🌻 #Whickham #NEFollowers #Gateshead #TyneandWear #Newcastle
