Friends of Greenhill Gardens (FOGG)

The Friends of Greenhill Gardens have made real headway in helping the Parks department to improve the gardens and attain a nationally recognised award since they formed in March 2007.

Carry out and encourage others to carry out practical projects to enhance the Gardens.

The Arch Project

An impressive waves-shaped arch at the entrance to the Gardens from the Esplanade was opened in April 2019. The Celebration Arch commissioned by the Friends Group honoured our longest reigning Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

The Arch has been designed by Tina Walton and constructed by Simon Meiklejohn from Herefordshire.
