Discover one of England’s most admired historic gardens in this special livestreamed event dedicated to the story of Melbourne Hall Garden. Join The Garden Museum on September 30 at 2 pm Eastern for the launch of the new title Melbourne Hall Garden, with author Jodie Jones, photographer Andrea Jones, and chaired by George Plumptre.

Famed for its sweeping yew tunnel and Robert Bakewell’s extraordinary wrought-iron arbor – the celebrated ‘Birdcage’ that made his name – Melbourne’s garden has changed little since the early 18th century. Yet in the 20th century, it underwent extensive restoration, and under the care of Lord and Lady Ralph Kerr it continues to flourish. Unusual specimen trees, shrubs, and herbaceous borders have been introduced, bringing fresh botanical interest to this classical landscape.

This talk will explore Melbourne Hall Garden’s layered history and celebrate its ongoing evolution. Join us for an evening of history, horticulture, and artistry in one of England’s great gardens. Book the livestream (£10) at https://gardenmuseum.org.uk/product/livestream-melbourne-hall-30-09-25/
