Meet the Sissinghurst Scholars

Meet the Sissinghurst Scholars, offering a rare opportunity to engage with team members of one of England's most iconic gardens.

Talks will alternate between 'Sissinghurst Scholars' and 'Growing Scholars'. Explore Sissinghurst through talks by its 'Sissinghurst Scholars': the experts tending to the historic gardens, preserving their beauty and heritage.

Learn about sustainable practices and plant growth from our 'Growing Scholar' Molly, supporting the vegetable garden and nursery. Dive into the maintenance of the main garden with our 'Sissinghurst Scholar' Paul.

Meet the Sissinghurst Scholar on 24th July, 25th September, 9th October, 6th November and 4th December.

Meet the Growing Scholar on 7th August, 18th September, 23rd October, 20th November and 11th December.

This event offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the daily lives of the scholars, showcasing their passion, expertise, and ongoing projects at Sissinghurst.

Learn first-hand about the scholarship programme designed to cultivate the Head Gardeners of the future. Generously funded by donations and legacies, this scholarship aims to nurture the career development of budding gardeners.

All proceeds from ticket sales will be reinvested into the scholarship, ensuring its sustainability and enabling future scholars to continue their vital work.

While the standard ticket price is £15, we encourage donations to support this worthy cause and contribute to the preservation of Sissinghurst's heritage.
