Dogs and Other Animals
The Gardens are regularly frequented by local dog walkers. Both humans and canines often greet and chat with each other on their daily outings. Vauxhall City Farm provides more faunal variety with various sheep, alpacas, goats, horses, pigs, etc that by day inhabit the several paddocks on the Gardens.
The Friends occasionally organise a DOG SHOW and the 2017 took place in connection with Vauxhall Trust St. George's Festival. Clr. David Amos acted as judge and it it was a great success.
If you would like your dog (or other animal visitor) added to the gallery, please send a digital photo and name of your pet to : info@fovpg.com
