We are privileged to be able to see and be
given a tour of the famous furniture designer’s distinctive garden, with several
walled gardens, rolling lawns, sculpture and giant topiary around one of
Beaminster's historic town houses. John’s inspirational grass garden and
Jennie's very contrasting garden with an oak fruit cage; a riot of colour.
Glasshouse, straw bale studio, geese in orchard. Remarkable trees, planked
and seasoning in open sided barn for future furniture commissions.
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.
