VINEYARD PASSAGE BURIAL GROUND – THE WOODLAND GARDEN
WHERE WE ARE . . .
Across the road from St Mary Magdalene Church in central Richmond, a narrow passage (the Vineyard Passage) heads up the Hill between the Vestry House and the Travelodge Hotel. It leads to an old cemetery, which was transformed 50 years ago into a lightly wooded wild garden. It is secluded and quiet, and one of the lesser known treasures of Richmond.
THE ENVIRONMENT AT THE BURIAL GROUND . . .
This woodland garden changes at different times of the year. In early spring, snowdrops, crocus and daffodils flower in the open spaces between the trees.
