Learn about the Beamish gardens: If Gardens Could Talk

Leave the bustle of modern life behind and join a member of our Gardening Team to discover the historical secrets of the Beamish gardens. Perfect for the gardener who has everything!

Gardens can be many things – ornamental, working, sensory, but we rarely stop to think about how they have changed through time and why.

Focusing on the beautiful gardens at Pockerley Old Hall, you will join a member of our knowledgeable gardening team to learn how the Beamish gardens have been painstakingly re-created as they would have been in the past.

Why were they styled in the way that they were? What plants were grown and why? And how do we know? Find out all of this and more in this fascinatingly unique talk!

Enjoyed the whole experience, the staff as always were knowledgeable and friendly, well worth the money.

Your experience includes day admission to visit the museum; and a refreshment voucher to the value of £3.50 redeemable for a freshly baked scone and hot drink from either the Tea Rooms, or the Coffee Shop, during your visit.

Please note that the walk to Pockerley Old Hall involves a fairly steep gradient and that we recommend that Participants wear weather appropriate clothing for this talk.

Please note: Courses are only available for those aged 18 and over unless otherwise stated.
