Event Details
Six acres of mature gardens owned by Mrs Julia Smith, with wide herbaceous borders planted for seasonal colour and interest which surround the 16th century house. The large Victorian walled garden and kitchen garden is productive and has been managed for many years by Andrew Haynes.
Refreshments will be served upon arrival followed by a guided tour of Edmondsham House led by Mrs Smith, lasting approximately 50 minutes. Rachel Bleazard will then lead the group on a tour of the Walled Garden. Following this, people will have free time to explore the rest of the grounds at their own leisure and partake in a picnic if they so wish.
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
