Gardens of Surrey
With the benefit of a varied landscape, gentle climate and proximity to London, Surrey has long been a popular place to live and create gardens. From formal 17th century terraces, to Arcadian parks of the 18th century, through Arts & Crafts delights to Victorian grandeur and gardens which have developed during the 20th century.(Albury, Painshill, Titsey Place & Munstead Wood and others).
Our very own Surrey Group member Cherrill Sands - Garden Historian
Cherrill is a garden historian with an MA in the Conservation of Landscapes, Park & Gardens. She has been engaged as Historical Consultant at Painshill Landscape Garden in Surrey since 2004. As a freelance speaker she presents talks throughout the UK and abroad on garden history and theatre studies . Cherrill is a former Chair of the educational charity Surrey Gardens Trust and remains a member of their Research Team. She enjoys discovering the endless variety of gardens around the world and all aspects of garden history and design - while trying to impose some order on her own patch of ground at home.
The evening will include a plant sale of both common, rare and unusual plants grown by Surrey Group Members, a raffle and the opportunity to enter the 'Flower of the Meeting Competition'.
