Скачать или смотреть Celebrate Highdown Gardens' history through Plant Heritage Week

Since it was founded by Sir Frederick Stern in 1909, Highdown Gardens has amassed a huge collection of rare and important plants - with some dating back more than 100 years.

This rich history is being celebrated at Highdown Gardens’ inaugural Plant Heritage Week - a series of talks, tours and workshops taking place from Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 September.

The work to preserve Highdown Gardens’ living library of plants was made possible by funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This paid for a new visitor centre, accessible path and sensory garden as well as glasshouses hosting a plant propagation project to share plants raised from cuttings and seeds with other gardens.

Throughout Plant Heritage Week visitors will get a taste of what it takes to catalogue and maintain the collection through a series of events led by Plant Heritage Officer Alex New.
