The Secrets of Walled Gardens
April 10, 2019
We welcome David Thompson who will talk on The Secrets of Walled Gardens.
David has been the chairman of the Middleton Cheney Gardening Club for over 10 years. He opens his cottage garden in the summer to raise money for charities, including for the National Garden Scheme and Katharine House.
A lifelong hobbyist gardener, he developed an early interest in walled gardens in his school days, when he would stay with this uncle, a head gardener, as his uncle’s career developed through a series of appointments at different country houses. All these gardens had walled sections; each with a different character and posing differing technical and managerial challenges for the head gardener.
This talk covers the basics of English walled gardens and should help you better understand what you are looking at, when you next visit one.
