Garden Tour: William Morris
See the inspiration for William Morris’ designs with a bespoke tour of our flourishing summer garden.
- Booking essential
In harmony with Shaw and Morris’ close relationship, and the subsequent items that we house in our collection, we bring his textiles and wallpapers to life through the plants and flowers visible in our tranquil garden.
Along the way, you’ll have behind the scenes access to our Senior Gardener's upcoming garden highlights, hear stories of Shaw’s and Morris’ friendship and gain tips and tricks for a flourishing summer oasis. The tour will last one hour, with the chance to ask questions at the end. A complimentary Morris-inspired soft drink will be served upon arrival.
Whilst we hope for good weather, please come prepared for a Great British summer!
