Event Details
A Private Visit especially for Dorset Gardens Trust has been arranged with the owners of this small but most interesting contemporary garden with interventions by Harris Bugg Studio within a varied ecological ANOB and historic landscape of Benville Lane, mentioned in Thomas Hardy’s Tess.
Within the curtilage there are new herbaceous borders, woodland planting, walled vegetable and cutting garden, cloud pruned topiary, ha ha, ornamental productive trees and moat which is a listed Ancient Monument.
The garden has featured in Country Life
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.
