Lectures - What's On?
Kingston Maurward is working in a partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society to offer a series of lectures and practical workshops for everyone to enjoy. The theme is "Gardening and Plantsmanship".
The venue will vary according to the season and the topic but all will take place in the lovely surroundings of Kingston Maurward. The estate was previously owned by Sir Cecil and Lady Hanbury whose family donated the garden at Wisley, Surrey, to the Royal Horticultural Society and later created the fabulous gardens of La Mortola, Italy.
Members of the general public are warmly invited to attend.
