    History of gardening

Rosemoor was significant in the plant world long before the RHS came to Torrington. Find out about Lady Anne Palmer and how she gifted Rosemoor to the RHS. Learn about her plant collecting and see some of the species that she initially planted in Lady Anne's Garden. 

This session will be a journey through time, considering the development of the RHS at Rosemoor as well as honouring Lady Anne as a notable plantswoman and plant collector. 

Please bring with you:
  • Your booking reference number
  • A notebook and pencil to make notes
  • Camera (or mobile phone for photos)
Tutor: Penny King and Lauren Moore, RHS Garden Team
