SUMMARY:A Tour of 2 Private Gardens: Tower Close Snowshill & The Court Broadway
DESCRIPTION:On this walking tour of two prestigious private gardens with Marion Mako\, we shall hear about some of the stories behind those who created\, inhabited and visited them\, all looking their finest in June. \nThe morning garden tour will visit: \n\n\n\nTower Close in Snowshill (starting point)\nThe Court in Broadway\n\nThe tour will start at Tower Close in Snowshill. Our friends at Snowshill Manor (National Trust) have agreed that our garden tour ticket holders can use their overflow car park (free) for the duration of the tour. Do consider a tour of the Manor before your garden tour with us; we’d recommend it! \nTower Close has striking views of the Malvern Hills from this 3 acre Cotswold garden positioned at the top of the charming village of Snowshill. Featured in Country Life\, the C17 Grade II listed house is surrounded by terraces of garden rooms. Herbaceous borders\, espaliered fruit trees and sunken vegetable garden. Plants tumble down the terraces to a romantic stream\, ponds\, garden features\, orchard and meadow. \nAfter finishing the tour at Tower Close\, please return to your vehicles and make the short drive to The Court on the Snowshill road on the outskirts of Broadway (next to St Eadburgha’s Church\, which is also worth a visit). \nThe beautiful gardens at The Court were designed by landscape designer\, horticulturist and writer Dan Pearson and are set in 6 acres behind a high stone wall and bounded on one side by a very impressive topiary yew tunnel. The formal gardens include glorious herbaceous borders\, a kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit cages\, a parterre and a large lawn leading down to the brook and the fields and wildlife lake beyond. Other areas are planted with ornamental willows and wild flowers. \nNote this garden tour is not suitable for those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility due to many steps and gravel paths. However should you wish to just sit and enjoy the views this would be fine! \nMarion Mako will be leading the tours and is a freelance garden historian and designer who has worked in both the UK and USA. \nHer design work focuses on planting\, taking inspiration from various historical styles\, a subject she also lectures on at The London College of Garden Design. As part of the series of The Historic Gardens of England\, she co-authored two books about the counties of Cheshire and Somerset. She has written books on the history of the late Duke of Westminster’s gardens at Eaton Hall and University of Bristol’s gardens\, as well as contributing to the gardening website Gardenista. In addition Marion is researching the gardens of two large private estates\, creating legacy books for their owners\, as well as leading a wide variety of bespoke garden tours. She is also a Trustee for the Painswick Rococo Garden in Gloucestershire. \nwww.makogardens.co.uk \nTickets £25 \nDue to the intense interest in this event\, and to make it fair for all\, we are limiting the number of tickets any person can buy to two. If you buy more than two tickets for this event they will be refunded (less the booking fees) and put back up for sale. \nTickets go on sale through the website at 10am on 17th March. \n  \nTower Close Gardens in Snowshill \n \n \n  \nGardens at The Close in Broadway \n  \n \n
