Stuart-Smith Gardens in Hertfordshire

@gardenmuseum invite you to join the waitlist for a family affair with visits to @tomstuartsmith own garden at The Barn, followed by his sister’s garden at Serge Hill, Hertfordshire and his sister-in-law’s at Pie Corner. We start at The Barn, where Tom will join us over coffee to describe the making of his own family garden before head gardener Brian Maslin guides us through it, taking in the calm, contemplative Courtyard, exuberantly planted West garden, two meadows – prairie and native – and the vegetable garden with its glasshouses, holding beds and wonderful ‘shed’ designed by Ptolemy Dean. Delightfully empty green rooms form the transition to the wilder area of the garden and Tom’s latest addition, a natural swimming pond. Just a short walk across the lane we will have lunch with a view on the expansive lawn (weather permitting) at Serge Hill, where two generations of the Stuart-Smith family have gardened. Finally, we all drive on to Pie Corner, where the garden made by garden designer and plantswoman Bella Stuart-Smith wraps around an elegant modern house surrounded by banks of woodland.

Time 10:10 BST
