Britain's What's On Event Guide
Shute House - Open Garden for NGS
Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, one of our finest landscape architects, was commissioned in 1969 to create a water garden for Lady Anne and Captain Michael Tree. The result was Shute House Gardens; his favourite and some say his finest work. The River Nadder rises at the top of the garden and is diverted into canals, waterfalls, rills and mysterious pools through a series of atmospheric garden rooms. A limited number of tickets have been made available for this special one day event, which includes a talk and private guided tour with the garden owner, Suzy Lewis followed by tea and cake. Please note the refreshments will be served in two sittings; one before and one after the garden tour. The first 20 tickets sold will take the tour first followed by refreshments.
