St Edmund Hall - Open Garden for NGS
The gardens of St Edmund Hall are on an intimate scale, much used and loved by the college's Fellows and students. The first sight is the college's historic front quad ('the most exquisite of the small Oxford quadrangles' according to Jan Morris) with its double lawn, clambering wisteria, and medieval well. To the left is the graveyard of the medieval church of St Peter in the East, now the college library. The graveyard is thick with snowdrops in February, and behind the church you will find the Broadbent Garden, with its herbaceous planting and overhanging limes. In the more modern part of the college, you will find one of Oxford's new 'green walls', designed to soften and cool the austere concrete of the new part of the historic, central Oxford site.
