20th November - Edwardian Gardens

Today we had a presentation on Arts & Crafts and Edwardian gardens given by Camilla Anderson, with some stunning photos. The Arts and Crafts gardens were designed to be a seamless harmonious extension to the home, Key features included the concept of garden rooms and the use of architectural features like pergolas, arbours and dry stone walls.

Celebrated figures like William Morris and Gertrude Jekell championed this approach.

A good turnout enjoyed our first meeting of the winter season.
