‘The new traditional at Renishaw Hall’

David Kesteven is Head Gardener at Renishaw Hall. In 2015 Renishaw Hall was the winner of HHA/Christie’s Garden of the Year and this spurred on the garden to even greater heights using the skills of Arne Maynard, an internationally renowned garden designer. (In the last 30 years, he has created over 250 gardens all over the world, including two award-winners at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show).  The talk tells the story of working with an international garden designer, how he helped to plan the garden and how his ideas can be used at home. David may bring plants for sale which will need to be paid for with cash. We will be visiting Renishaw later this year.
