Event Details
Lady Rothermere has very kindly opened Ferne Park to Dorset Gardens Trust again this year, especially requested by Members who were unable to visit last time.
Lady Rothermere and Rupert Golby originally designed the garden around Quinlan Terry’s classical house at Ferne. Double avenues of limes stretch to the hills and garden rooms of clipped hedges, decorated with standard Wisterias, echo the architecture of the house. An immaculate potager, a decorative orchard, a cascade into a lake and a minimalist swimming pool, are among the many delights of this magnificent garden.
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.
