We are not holding a garden festival in 2019
We have moved our
festival to South Herefordshire to Whitfield. The
house has an outstanding garden set in beautiful parkland with
remarkable trees and wild flowers.
We made the move
because we wanted to include the stunning gardens and wild places
to walk in this area. The format will remain the same,
talks and stalls at the house in the morning and early afternoon
with an opportunity to visit gardens and to walk in the wild
in the afternoon.
Speakers
On Saturday - Sarah Price, Timothy Mowl, Jinny Blom and Peter
Garner
On Sunday - Noel Kingsbury and Caroline Hanks, Anna Pavord, Timothy
Walker, Mary Keen and James Clapp
Clustered in the garden at Whitfield will be stalls selling plants
and gardenalia. There will also be plenty of delicious
food
Gardens open for GITW
Brockhampton
Cottage, Grendon Court, Thruxton Rectory, Kentchurch Court, Nant y
Bedd, The Pant and Court-y-Pella. These will all
be covered
by a roving ticket.
Come and walk in Herefordshire Wildlife Trust reserves, Crow Wood
and The Parks
Supper and tour
On Saturday evening, Ted Clive, the owner of
Whitfield, will host a guided walk through the park and gardens.
Whitfield is famous for its trees which include a Ginko with a
recording breaking girth planted in 1780. Return to a welcome glass
of wine followed by a supper of tagine, couscous, salad and
strawberries and cream.
To book go to the Events page and follow the
directions.
“I'm already looking forward to GiW 2017: to hear renowned speakers, buy unusual plants, walk with expert guides and visit a fascinating selection of private gardens. I can think of no better way to spend a summer weekend.” Helena Attlee, author of The land where lemons grow
“A great festival with a strong personality and clear focus, set in the heart of one of the UK's most vibrant garden-making counties.”
Tim Richardson, author of The New English Garden
