As well as experiencing the famous White Garden and Rose Garden at their peak flowering time, our guests will have the chance to see the new Delos garden created with designer Dan Pearson, the Cottage Garden and Orchard all to themselves when the garden has closed for the day and visitors have gone.

The event will begin in the afternoon with a talk from head gardener Troy, with insights into the garden’s creation by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, and its ongoing development, as well as its quintessentially English-style planting. The walking tour will follow, culminating in a pre-dinner drink in the garden and a Q&A session. After a tasty buffet-style supper, guests are free to explore the gardens again at their own pace.
