Britain's What's On Event Guide
Turn End garden - A Midsummer Garden Botanical Tour
Turn End is renowned architect Peter Aldington's post-war family house and garden within the historic Buckinghamshire village of Haddenham
Turn End's garden, designed and made by Peter as a natural extension to Turn End house, grew with the buildings, maturing into an internationally renowned garden, gaining publicity through television programmes, and the many articles that have been written about it. In less than an acre, space is used to create an illusion of size - courtyards with pools, a small woodland around old apple trees, a curved glade leading to a series of garden rooms – sunken or raised, sunny or shady, geometric or informal. Turn End is one of only two post war examples where both the house and garden are listed by Historic England.
Join Turn End's gardener, Jackie Hunt, for a leisurely stroll exploring the garden on the longest day of the year. Jackie will take us on a worldwide botanical tour, highlighting plants that originated in far-flung corners of the globe and explaining why they make great garden plants here in the UK. The garden will be open until dusk to explore afterwards at leisure. Home-grown plants for sale.
