Talks
The history and restoration of Painswick Rococo Garden
One of our expert team can deliver a fascinating illustrated talk on the history and restoration of our unique garden to groups of all shapes and sizes – from gardening clubs and historical societies to U3As and local interest groups.
The talk covers:
- the history of Painswick Rococo Garden;
- what is rococo?
- an armchair tour of the restoration work, before and after.
We can provide all the equipment needed (laptop, projector and screen) whatever the size of your venue. This expert talk costs £160 plus travel expenses. A small range of Garden produce will also be for sale (depending on season and subject to availability).
Our speakers are most likely to be available off-season, ie October to March. To enquire about availability, call 01452 813204 or drop us an email.
Alternatively, we can arrange an out-of-hours visit to the Garden for groups of 20+ with exclusive private access and an expert tour. For gardening groups, our onsite Exedra Nursery team are happy to arrange special opening and to be on hand to assist with expert advice. For more information, see our Group visits page.
