There will be no on form sculpture exhibition this summer. Don’t despair! All is not lost, and you can read here a special message from founder Rosie Pearson on celebration, explanation and hope for the future. And sculptures are still available to view (and buy) online here.
Instead of an exhibition, in 2024 we opened the gardens in July, which was a joy and raised over eight thousand pounds for our chosen charities. In 2026 we have already opened for February snowdrops and winter wonders, and we are open again in May and June springtime delights. For dates and bookings click here. If you missed us, we have a few special events lined up this year as well, head over to our What’s on page for more details.
In particular, you might want to take a look at the residential course and workshops run in the kitchen garden and the main house by the CIC, we are hosting, Asthall Wild. Based in the walled garden, resident grower Tim Mitchell and others will offer workshops on gardening for wildlife, compost making, seed saving and other life-enhancing themes. Sign up to our newsletter if you want to be kept informed of these and other events and future plans.
