Event Details

Extensive plant collecting and technical innovation fuelled the quest for the unusual and new, in the emerging Victorian suburban plot. Come and find out about the design and diversity of the garden elements which typify this period; from glasshouses, stripy lawns and 'bedding out' schemes, to the coming of the garden gnome! In this study day knowledgeable and enthusiastic Garden Historian, Marilyn Elm, will include presentations illustrated with inspiring images, discussions around interesting objects related to the period and, weather-permitting, a guided walk around the garden highlighting Victorian influences
