Highlights include

• apple tasting: over 2 dozen delicious, locally-grown heritage varieties from the region to try and buy

The Beth Chatto Gardens began in 1960 as an overgrown wasteland which was then transformed into inspirational, informal gardens set within the countryside of East Anglia.

The Gardens include the Gravel Garden, world-famous for being drought-tolerant, in the driest part of the country, in free-draining gravel soil.  There is also the Water Garden, Woodland Garden and redeveloped Reservoir Garden which has interesting new planning of perennials.  The plant shop offers a wide range of plants, the majority propagated from the gardens or surrounding stock beds.

Highlights include:

Join Chantal Helm for a spring twilight ramble through the Garden and learn about the fascinating world of bats.

As well as searching for these elusive nocturnal creatures, there will be a chance to use our bat detectors and have your questions answered.  Starting with a short talk, followed by a walk through the Garden, the event will finish at around 21:30. 

The event is weather dependent.
