About the talk
Ham House Garden is part restoration and part re-creation of a 17th century landscape, designed with house and garden in harmony, created to impress. This illustrated talk considers how the garden has evolved to offer the contemporary visitor beauty and relevance while still retaining the original ideas and intentions of its creators.
