On Wednesday, May 21, at 2pm there’s a specialist talk/walk in the garden with one of Peckover House’s gardeners. Learn about the plant hunters of the past, and how their work gave us some of the plants we enjoy in our gardens today. Booking in advance is advisable. The event costs £2.50.
Photography is in focus on Saturday, May 10, from 10am-4pm. A digital photography workshop will explore the features of your digital camera and is designed for anyone who would like to take better photos.
The workshops can be used as a good foundation by an aspiring professional photographer and are structured by skill level. You can attend just one, or build your own course.
