Capel Manor, Enfield had an open day on Saturday, I visited to research how people use public spaces for recreation and education. Capel Manor is probably best known for its land-based studies college. The college has facilities for garden design, horticulture, animal care, floristry and arboriculture.
The Manor has 30 acres of land, which have established gardens and temporary plots which the students use.
Several alumni of the school were awarded medals at this years RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2010. The Upwardly Mobile (Gold medal), Plants against Crime (Silver Lindley Medal), Christian Before Dior (Bronze Medal).
The gardens are open daily to the public between March and October. There are admission fees, but these are waived on an open day if you print out an entry voucher, which can be found on their website.
