Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, hosted by Perennial Trustee, Richard Lawton

Join Perennial Trustee Richard Lawton for a memorable day at the award-winning Sir Harold Hillier Gardens. This exclusive event offers a rare opportunity to explore the Gardens in the company of their expert horticultural team.

Guests will enjoy a relaxed and inspiring programme, including refreshments, insightful talks, a delicious lunch served at The Garden Restaurant & Tea Rooms, and a guided tour through some of the Garden’s most celebrated areas. Highlights include the secluded ornamental grounds surrounding Jermyn’s House, the spectacular Centenary Border, and the tranquil Pond.

September is a beautiful time to visit, with early autumn colour beginning to emerge. Admire the beauty of Himalayan birches, known for their striking white, pink, and chocolate coloured bark.
Keep an eye out for rare Ginkgo cultivars as they start to reveal their buttery yellow foliage, a subtle sign of the season’s shift. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or simply love beautiful landscapes, this is a day not to be missed.
