Secret Gardens of the South East

June 26, 2023

We had an excellent turnout for our May event, an illustrated talk by Barbara Segall based on her recent book The Secret Gardens of the South East. Barbara is a well known writer and trustee of the garden charity Perennial. Her collection of slides provided us with a fascinating and colourful tour of mostly private gardens of Kent, Sussex and Surrey.

Some gardens have been in the possession of the same family for generations, whereas others have been transformed by new owners with modern ideas, offering us images and inspiration from traditional and cottage gardens, sculpture gardens, topiary and even a modern tulip maze.
