Joe Swift says

"For over 100 years the Horniman Gardens have been doing a great job providing a much-loved open space, where visitors have been able to come to enjoy the first class horticulture and planting, the music and concerts, or simply the great views.

The redevelopment of the Gardens is vital if they are to serve – and delight – visitors for another 100 years and I have been thrilled to see the Horniman’s plans take shape.

When the Gardens are complete, London will have an inspiring educational asset and great new spaces for the relaxation, recreation and education of future generations - as their founder Frederick Horniman originally intended.

As a Patron of the Horniman I am delighted to give my backing to this exciting project. The Horniman has had fantastic support which has enabled them to get things underway. I do hope the community will now join me and give their support to the appeal to raise the final funds needed to finish the job."
