Upton Grey Garden
Rosamund Wallinger
Gertrude Jekyll designed this important historic garden in 1908. When John and Rosamund Wallinger bought the almost derelict property in 1984, they did not realise that what lay underneath the jungle were the foundations of a very special garden. The work on this garden’s restoration has been an exciting and rewarding adventure of discovery. What they have recreated is now believed to be the most complete and authentic Jekyll garden in existence – a living museum of Jekyll design. Rosamund Wallinger BEM will give an introduction to the garden and its history. Refreshments are included.
