About the event
7.30pm to 9.30pm, Wednesday 24 September 2025
Join the York Group for an inspiring talk by Sam Shipman, Head Gardener for the National Trust gardens around York.
Sam will share the fascinating story of how award-winning garden designer Andy Sturgeon, together with the team at Beningbrough, transformed an under-used lawn, that has been part of a garden space with over 300 years of history, into a striking Mediterranean-style landscape.
This innovative redesign not only breathes new life into the historic grounds but also addresses the challenges of a changing climate, creating a beautiful, climate-resilient garden built for the future.
Don’t miss this chance to hear firsthand how heritage and sustainability came together in one of Yorkshire’s most exciting garden transformations.
