General Admission

An illustrated tour of Dorset’s walled gardens.
This garden history lecture expands on the recent article in the DGT Journal and explores Walled Gardens and their uses over time. Phil has criss-crossed over Dorset this past year visiting twenty locations, including Deans Court, Edmondsham, Forde Abbey, Kingston Lacy, Moreton and Scaplen's Court. The talk is full of interesting facts and showcasing some beautiful images of how they look today.

Approaching via the A352 from the North or the South towards the Giant viewpoint at the North end of the village, turn off East into Duck Street heading towards the village and look for a small lane on the left; this is Kettle Bridge Lane. The Village Hall is on the right after about 50 metres.

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.

Dorset Gardens Trust

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.
