Surrey's Unforgettable Gardens

In 2020, the Gardens Trust announced their plan to celebrate Unforgettable Gardens - what they mean to us, the threats they face and how you can help save them for future generations. Even famous landscapes that appear on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest can face threats.

Surrey Gardens Trust, in partnership with the Gardens Trust, are delighted to share some very special and unforgettable gardens from their rich legacy of historic parks and gardens in Surrey.  The lectures will be held on Wednesday evenings starting from 6 October at 6pm online via Zoom and you can book the entire series via Eventbrite here. We will be discussing the following:

Week 1. 6 Oct. Sutton Place presented by Cherrill Sands 

Week 2. 13 Oct. Munstead Wood presented by Richard Bisgrove

Week 3. 20 Oct. the Peace Garden at the muslim burial ground presented by Elizabeth Cuttle 

Week 4. 27 Oct. Albury Park presented by Jan Clark 

We are also thrilled that much of the research on these sites is being shared by our own members, several of whom have a direct and personal relationship with these gardens.  

The ticket costs £16 for the entire series of 4 sessions or you may purchase a ticket for individual sessions, costing £5 each.  All tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite (either for the series or the individual lectures).

Attendees will be sent a Zoom link 2 days prior to the start of the talk, and again a few hours before the talk. A link to the recorded session (available for 1 week) will be sent shortly afterwards.
