SUMMARY:Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Study Day at RHS Wisley
DESCRIPTION:Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe was one of the 20th century’s leading landscape architects and we believe that his sensitivity to purpose and the environment are still very relevant to modern town planning and landscape design today.  We are delighted to have three talented and knowledgeable speakers (Annabel Downs\, Kate Harwood and Ed Bennis) talking about their research on three unique designs by Jellicoe.  They will focus on his master plan for Hemel Hempstead New Town and Water Gardens\, the John F Kennedy Memorial at Runnymede and the Cadbury Factory at Moreton.  In addition we will be able to discuss and visit the canal he designed at RHS Wisley. \nAttached please find details of the study day and a booking form.  We do hope you will join us for this exciting programme. \nPlease note that this is a ticketless event but confirmations will be sent out two weeks prior to the event.  Should you have any queries please use the email link provided below. \nDownload Booking Form \n

SUMMARY:Winter Talk - ‘Still a City Beautiful?’ - Kate Harwood
DESCRIPTION:A series of four talks for HGT members and their guests\, to be held on Monday afternoons at 2.30pm. At The Village Hall\, Hall Lane\, Woolmer Green\, SG3 6XA (Near Knebworth) \nTea and coffee will be served from 2.15pm and each talk will cost £5 per person. \nReservation and payment for places on the four talks should be made to Mrs Liz Carlin\, 27 Highoaks Road\, Welwyn Garden City\, AL8 7BJ (Tel: 01707 321210) \nWelwyn Garden City is a fusion of Unwin’s Arts and Crafts ‘healthy living’ town planning and de Soissons’ ‘City Beautiful’ centre with its processional way\, influenced by cities in the United States\, laid out by planners trained in the Paris Ecole de Beaux-Arts manner. As such it is the most successful of the two Garden Cities in England\, a forerunner of the New Towns and much post-war planning. Unfortunately\, it has worked so well that the name ‘Garden – city\, village\, suburb’ has been hijacked by cynical governments dispensing diktats from Whitehall. As there will be a Gardens Trust conference in Welwyn Garden City on the development and future of the town (25 July 2020)\, this talk will concentrate on the town at present and the plans for its future and that of the surrounding hinterland – Howard’s Green Belt – which is being eroded to fill ‘Objectively Assessed Need’ for housing.

SUMMARY:Garden Visit to Northamptonshire -  New Date
DESCRIPTION:Departure from Stanborough Green\, Welwyn Garden City 9.00am \nOur first visit is to the Old Rectory at Quinton. This is a beautiful contemporary garden of 3 acres designed by multi-award winning designer\, Anoushka Feiler. Throughout the garden there are associations with its 18th century ecclesiastical origins: parterres\, topiary and long walks\, contrasting with 21st century features: modern materials\, new planting methods and abstract installations.\nSadly\, the Old Rectory cannot provide refreshment\, but have suggested that members may like to bring their own flasks of coffee and sit in the garden. A two-course lunch will be taken at the Boat Inn\, Stoke Bruern. Our afternoon visit is to the Menagerie Garden at Horton. The Grade II* listed mid-18th century house\, built as a folly for the 2nd Earl Halifax\, was rescued from dereliction in 1972 by Gervase Jackson-Stops. Jackson-Stops and successive generations of owners have created a remarkable Rococo Revival garden around the house\, complete with thatched arbours\, a shell grotto featuring Orpheus-in-the-Underworld\, and elegant planting within its formal layout. We shall be offered tea and cake before we leave. \nReservation and payment for places on this garden visit should be made to Mrs Sonja Fillingham\, using the flyer below:\nFlyer for Garden Visits 2019

SUMMARY:A Guided Walk along the City High Walk
DESCRIPTION:Walk to be led by Kate Harwood – Meet at 11.0am at Moorgate Tube Station\, London \nThe original Barbican development included provision for a high walk but only part of this was built at the time. This has now been completed. We will first visit Salters Hall garden\, originally laid out by David Hicks\, and the very new St Alphage garden next to it\, then along the High Walk\, looking at the planting along it to the Barbican and the gardens there. A pit stop in the Barbican and then a look at the revamped Beech Gardens\, where Nigel Dunnett won a Landscape Institute Award in 2018. We end at the Charterhouse\, where there are plenty of places round Smithfield for lunch and easy access to Farringdon Tube and Thameslink station. Charterhouse has recently been opened to the public and the chapel etc. can be viewed. The newly planted forecourt can be seen\, but the courtyard gardens to the rear are private. They are open for NGS on June 5 18.00-21.00. \nHomepage \n \nMembers are responsible for their own transport and refreshments. Reservation and payment for places on the walk should be made to Mrs Liz Carlin\, using the flyer below. Each applicant will receive detailed information on the location\, timing and precise meeting point for each walk\, together with advice on suitable clothing and footwear and contact details for the Walk leader. \nFlyer for Summer Walks 2019

SUMMARY:Garden Visit to Pashley Manor\, Ticehurst\, East Sussex
DESCRIPTION:Departure from Stanborough Green\,Welwyn Garden City 9.00am \nSonja Fillingham writes: I am taking a gamble this year that the M25 will run smoothly\, as we are visiting Pashley Manor near Ticeburst. I think Pashley Manor is one of the most beautiful gardens in England. We will leave Stanborough Green at 9.00am and hope to arrive at approximately 11.30am for coffee and a tray-bake.\nI have not organised lunch as we shall be free to wander the gardens\, where the roses will be at their best.\nLunch will be at your own expense and if the weather is favourable can be taken on the terrace or otherwise in the excellent Garden Room café. Because the garden is large (11 acres) I have organised just the visit to Pashley Manor\, where there is a plant sale area\, a gift shop and an exhibition of sculpture around the garden. I hope to be back at Stanborough Green by 6.30pm. \nReservation and payment for places on this visit should be made to Mrs Sonja Fillingham\, using the flyer below:\nFlyer for Garden Visits 2019

SUMMARY:A Guided Walk through the former High Leigh Estate\, including Barclay Park
DESCRIPTION:Walk to be led by Tina Rowland – Meet at High Leigh Conference Centre\, Hoddesden \nThis walk will explore the former High Leigh Estate and Barclay Park in Hoddesdon to see evidence of the work done by the firm of James Pulham and Son of Broxbourne. Tina Rowland has recently researched this site and she will show us surviving features\, including a grotto and cave\, all believed to be by the Pulhams. High Leigh has been described as ‘probably one of the best\, if not the best Pulham site in Hertfordshire\, in terms of accessibility\, variety and extent of remains. ‘\nThe High Leigh mansion and 40 acres of the grounds were sold to First Conference Estate Ltd in 1922. In the 1930s the Barclay family gave the gift of the estate’s former parkland to the town of Hoddesdon as an amenity space named Barclay Park and it opened in 1937. Smaller areas of land were conveyed in 1954 giving a park area of about 18 acres. \nMembers are responsible for their own transport and refreshments. Reservation and payment for places on the walk to Mrs Liz Carlin\, using the flyer below. Each applicant will receive detailed information on the location\, timing and precise meeting point for each walk\, together with advice on suitable clothing and footwear and contact details for the Walk leader. \nFlyer for Summer Walks 2019

SUMMARY:The History of the Garden and Grounds at Wimpole Hall - Alison Moller
DESCRIPTION:Alison Moller is a member of the HGT Research Group and recently completed an MA in Garden and Landscape History \nSituated near Royston in Cambridgeshire\, the landscape and setting of Wimpole Hall are a fine example of how the evolution of the garden over many centuries can be traced on the ground in conjunction with archaeological and documentary evidence. Vestiges of the Medieval landscape survive\, but it is the 17th and 18th century developments that are perhaps the most interesting. Many of the great names in Garden History worked at Wimpole: London and Wise\, Charles Bridgeman\, Robert Greening\, Lancelot Brown\, William Eames\, Sir John Soane and Humphry Repton all made contributions\, which will be examined in this talk. \nTea/Coffee will be served from 2.15pm and each talk will cost £5 per person. Reservation and payment for places on the four Talks should be made to Mrs Liz Carlin\, using this form.

SUMMARY:London Parks and Gardens Study Day - Nature's Wonders at  Fulham Palace
DESCRIPTION:The day offers a chance to learn about the intense interest in botany and plant collecting in London in the late 17th and early 18th centuries\, including the pre-eminent collections of the Duchess of Beaufort at Beaufort House\, Queen Mary at Hampton Court\, and Bishop Henry Compton at Fulham Palace\, where the event is hosted. Many of these collectors made herbariums\, parts of which found their way into the collections of Sir Hans Sloane – and thus formed the basis for the foundation of the British Museum in 1759. Attendees will have the chance to visit the ongoing restoration of Bishop Compton’s plantings with Fulham Palace Head Gardener Lucy Hart.  \nFor full information on the event please visit https://londonparksandgardens.eventcube.io/events/14688/study-day-natures-wonders

SUMMARY:Orchards East and Historic Orchards in Hertfordshire - Professor Tom Williamson
DESCRIPTION:Tom Williamson\, Professor of Landscape History at the University of East Anglia\, directs HGT’s Research Group \nOrchards were for centuries a ubiquitous and essential feature of the rural landscape. They were also an important part of many garden designs\, valued for their aesthetic and symbolic qualities. The last half century has seen a catastrophic decline in their numbers\, in Hertfordshire as elsewhere\, with important impacts on biodiversity\, as well as on our cultural heritage. This talk will explain what we know so far about the history of orchards in Hertfordshire\, and what we hope to find out in the future. \n\n\n\n\n\nTea/Coffee will be served from 2.15pm and each talk will cost £5 per person.
