On arrival we will enjoy bubbles/juice and cake before we begin to explore. Please note that this is a working nursery which is not normally open to the public so there is no seating area and a compostable loo! Parking is limited so shared cars will be arranged before our outing. There will be an exclusive opportunity to purchase plants while we are there.

Steve Edney is well known to garden aficionados for his work in his former position as Head Gardener at The Salutation in Kent. He is currently engaged in an ambitious project creating a ‘dry garden’ in the precincts of Canterbury Cathedral. He serves on the RHS Herbaceous committee and won a Gold medal at Chelsea Flower Show in 2019.

Lou and Steve began work on this three-acre site during the first lockdown. It is the fruition of a long-held dream for which they had been saving over many years. The vision was for the site to be low maintenance with minimum watering and as sustainable as possible. It is off grid.

Numbers will be strictly limited. Sign up and pay at our next lecture or email programme.sandwich@theartssociety.org
