There will be no on form sculpture exhibition this summer. Don’t despair! All is not lost, and you can read here a special message from founder Rosie Pearson on celebration, explanation and hope for the future. And sculptures are still available to view (and buy) online here.

Instead of an exhibition, we opened the gardens this July, which was a joy and raised over eight thousand pounds for our chosen charities. If you missed us, we have quite a few special events lined up, head over to our What’s on page for more details.

In particular, you might want to take a look at the residential course and workshops run in the kitchen garden and the main house by the CIC, we are hosting, Asthall Wild. Based in the walled garden, resident grower Tim Mitchell and others will offer workshops on gardening for wildlife, compost making, seed saving and other life-enhancing themes. Sign up to our newsletter if you want to be kept informed of these and other events and future plans.
