AGM 2023 & Presentation/Panel Discussion at Purley Barn
Wednesday, 11th October 7.00pm
We welcome you to a lively panel presentation and discussion on the opportunites and challenges of restoring and creating new gardens within private historic settings
Following the formal Annual General Meeting (AGM), our Autumn Event this year will be another special evening and a bit different with a celebration of what can be achieved by inspired garden designers at their own homes. Do join us whilst enjoying a glass of wine and nibbles.
We are extremely pleased that Willie Hartley-Russell DL, owner of Bucklebury House, Bucklebury; Niamh Kendall, owner of Kidmore House, Kidmore End; and Bruce Ginsberg, owner of Earlestone Manor, Burghclere; have all kindly agreed to share their experiences of creating a new garden in their delightful historic properties and to answer our questions on how they achieved the wonderful gardens we visited in 2022
Adam Vetere, owner and award winning designer of Old Camps, Headley which we visited this year, has very kindly agreed to chair the panel discussions. Adam has also transformed his garden at Old Camps which is set within the grounds of what was once a roman encampment.
Time: Please arrive from 6:30 to 6:45. The evening will start with the AGM, promptly at 7pm. The Presentation/Discussion will then follow immediately after the AGM at approximately 7:30.
Venue: Purley Barn, off Beech Road, Purley-on-Thames, Berkshire RG8 8DR
