Event Details

Charles Chesshire is a garden and landscape designer, writer and lecturer. He has been making gardens for over 30 years in the United Kingdom, the USA and France. He was the curator of Burford House Gardens, Worcestershire for 10years when it was a Mecca for Clematis lovers, and among other roles, has been the consultant designer for Sudeley Castle Gardens and Sezincote since 1998. Charles recently moved from the Welsh Borders to Dorset where he has set up a rare plant nursery in Symondsbury (close to Bridport). His lecture will cover the history of Clematis cultivation in Britain with a special emphasis on species and small flowered hybrids and what the future might hold. He is the author of several books on Clematis.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Dorset Gardens Trust generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Dorset Gardens Trust, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
