Sissinghurst at sunset with Troy Scott Smith

s well as experiencing the famous and at their peak flowering time, our guests will have the chance to see the new garden created with designer Dan Pearson, the Cottage Garden and Orchard all to themselves when the garden has closed for the day and regular 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 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 and Q&A session. After a tasty buffet-style supper, guests are free to explore the gardens again at their own pace.
