Welcome to the International Garden Cities Website Blog.
Well not just Spring but election season is upon us - rather unexpectedly - and has added a surprise element to April's work at the International Garden Cities Institute.
Hello! I do hope you all had a good March despite the rather turbulent times. The spring flowers seem to have arrived – and the daffodils and jonquils are always a cheering sight. A few warmer days really do lift the spirits – and increase the Vitamin D intake too.
Hello! I think it would be fair to say that February’s weather has been for the most part a rather cold, wet, grey and windy affair but perhaps the glimpses of sunshine and early flowers peeking out – those first fugitive signs of spring now in evidence – will make further changes in the season
Hello all and Happy New Year! Despite the wintry weather – with cold and snow really making winter bite, it’s been a productive January at the International Garden City Institute.

The run up to Christmas is always a rather hectic one and December was a busy period for the Institute and in the wider world of garden cities.
Well it's been a cold month with a sense that winter is now about to get going and a definite need to rug up for walking around Letchworth. We've reached the end of 'dark Autumn' as it shades into winter but at least the prospect of Christmas is there to cheer things up a bit.
Hello! I hope you have all had a great September and enjoyed the mostly warm weather we have been experiencing.

Hello. I'm Susan Parham and I work at the International Garden Cities Institute as its academic director. This is the first of what will be a regular research update from me about the Institute, so it's a bit longer than these will be in future!
The Institute is to feature in a documentary on BBC Radio 4, exploring whether garden cities are the answer to our housing crisis or not and whether Ebenezer Howard’s original philosophy still works today.
