Behind the scenes at Beth Chatto Gardens
Essex Gardens Trust visit to the renowned Beth Chatto Gardens, established by Beth Chatto just over 60 years ago. Beth transformed a desolate wasteland that was deemed unfit for fruit farming into a series of iconic gardens. The landscape varied dramatically so that each garden within the garden has become an example of working with nature to find the right plants for the right place.
Beth’s granddaughter and Chair of the Gardens, Julia Boulton will provide us with insights into its development as well as their innovative plans for gardens that help meet the challenges of climate change, biodiversity and sustainability.
Attendees will also be given a behind the scenes look at the nursery and original house.
Time: 13:00 BST
