Why not visit one of Harlow’s hidden secrets - the walled gardens that surround Harlow Museum in Muskham Road? Dating back to the 16th Century, the museum walls contain: • the unusual fruits garden home to Figs, Quince, Bitter Orange and Medlar trees; • the formal 17th Century garden, with low hedging, old roses and herbs; • the Peace Garden, with wide borders and grassed areas (perfect for a summer picnic) The gardens are maintained by a small group of volunteers who meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-3pm. For more information on becoming a volunteer please contact corrinadunlea@gmail.com Entry to the museum and gardens is free, with free parking in the car park to the rear of the museum, off Fesants Croft. You can find information and reviews about Harlow Town Park and Harlow Museum on Trip Advisor. Visit www.tripadvisor.co.uk
