Support Greenhill Gardens
If you wish to support the work of Friends of Greenhill Gardens, there are several ways to make a donation. We are also looking for Volunteers who can help us with events and projects.
With your support, we can continue hosting live music events, maintaining the iconic floral clock, and organising community gatherings.
Please consider making an online donation today and be a part of our garden’s future. Thank you for your generosity.
Cheque
We also accept donations by cheque. As a charity, Gift Aid increases the value of any donation from a UK tax payer by 25% at no extra cost to the donor. A Gift Aid form can be downloaded and included with your cheque.
Give by Legacy
The Trust is a Registered Charity (No. 1199609) so any legacies left to the Trust are given in their entirety and are not subject to inheritance tax.
Bucket cash donations
Most of the Entertainers at the following Sunday afternoon events are paid. We help to offset this expense and raise monies for projects by bucket donations on those days. So please give what you can as you enjoy the entertainment on offer. Many thanks.

Floral Clock Face
For many years, the floral clock has showcased the creativity and artistry of the gardeners who painstakingly maintain and design the floral arrangements with up to 5000 plants. The Floral Clock not only serves as a timepiece but also as a living work of art.
Installed in 1936, this is one of the last Floral Clocks ever made that was driven by a traditional mechanical clock movement. It is a testament to the maker Richie & Sons of Edinburgh that it has continued working each summer ever since, totalling over half a billion clicks. It is probably one of the last 2 of its kind still existing.
Clock Mechanism of the Clock House
Standing a few yards away from the floral clock is the Clock House that contains the clock mechanism. Rebuilt in 2023, it displays the original clock movement. The “cuckoo” has not worked for 40 years but has now been restored, and will call out the hours and quarters.
