Shute House - Open Garden for NGS

Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, one of our finest landscape architects, was commissioned in 1969 to create a water garden for Lady Anne and Captain Michael Tree. The result was Shute House Gardens; his favourite and some say his finest work. The River Nadder rises at the top of the garden and is diverted into canals, waterfalls, rills and mysterious pools through a series of atmospheric garden rooms. A limited number of tickets have been made available for this special one day event, which includes a talk and private guided tour with the garden owner, Suzy Lewis as well as a light lunch. Please note lunch will be served in two sittings; one before and one after the garden tour.
Check website for latest information.
Thur 6 June (12-3.30). Admission £55. Pre-booking essential, please visit www.ngs.org.uk for information & booking. Light lunch served with wine. Times:12:00 to 15:30.
