There has been one major change from the printed programme. The Bobarts Day will now take place on Sunday 12th July at the Harcourt Arboretum. Louise Allen and Piers Newth will lead a tour, including the meadow in its full glory and the evolving Palmer’s Leys. Visits in Oxford include a tour of the re-invigorated Merton College gardens and Queen’s College Library, where we shall see the development of the representation of plants from mediaeval manuscripts through early printed books up to the 19th century. Some say it is a mistake to repeat a memorable event but I am prepared to take this risk. We visit Eythrope again, by kind permission of Lord and Lady Rothschild. We will see the large beautifully maintained walled flower, fruit and vegetable garden before supper, which if fine, will be under the mulberry tree. Finally, a September evening at Broughton Grange to see the impressive 25 acres of gardens, light woodland and the remarkable large terraced walled garden created by Tom Stuart-Smith in 2001.
