Roman Villa Garden Tour (October)
3, 5, 10, 12, 17 October / 11:00am
Travel back in horticultural time on a tour of our Roman Villa gardens.
Villa Ventorum’s gardens are inspired by the productive and ornamental gardens of Roman Britain. On this tour you’ll discover the herbs, fruits, flowers and useful plants that would have been grown for food, medicine and everyday life, and learn how these gardens balanced beauty with practicality.
Along the way, you'll explore the history of the site, the inspiration behind the garden's design, and how many of these ancient gardening traditions continue to influence gardening today.
Please note, a valid Newt membership is required to book onto a Roman Villa Garden tour.
