Between the two world wars there were an exceptional number of artists who gardened, taking their activities as plantsmen and plantswomen as seriously as they took their art.

Friends plus one guest are welcome to explore the exhibition at this exclusive Friends private tour. Tours will be led by our Curator at the below times; spaces are limited and tickets must be booked in advance.

Tours will last for approx. 30 minutes.

The Garden Café will also be open serving delicious dinner and drinks throughout the night, booking highly recommended – book a table.
