The gardens vary in size, many are large with some extending to 150 feet. There will be an open allotment and you can visit a community wildlife garden, which is managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Mainly built between 1875 and World War I, the Avenues were given conservation area status, due to the unique features of the area and distinctive architecture and gardens. Teas, cakes, and art on show, music, and other community events are held over these two weekends that celebrate this distinctive community in Hull.
