Join us for a combined Library Talk and Garden Walk: The Jellicoe Canal - Before & After. The Library talk will be led by one of the Library staff and the Garden Walk will be led by one of the RHS Horticulturalists.

Join us in exploring the history of the area we now know as the Jellicoe Canal. What was there before the canal, how the canal came to be, what is there now and what does the future hold?
