Root Dwellings Inspired
by a heap of old apple tree roots in a field, Lyn made her first dwelling 25 years ago. Impossible to describe but
never forgotten. To see these works of imagination, craftsmanship and art visit the exhibition when the gardens at Whitehurst
are open. Details below.

The Gardens at Whitehurst
Set in the heart of Kent, over the last 45 years, together with her husband John, Lyn has created the gardens at Whitehurst
from part of a stubble field marked out by a single stake. They have opened their garden with the National Garden Scheme for
the last twenty years. 1½ acres of romantic, rather wild garden with many delightful and
unexpected features. Victorian spiral staircase leads to a treetop walk; water tumbles down stone steps to a rill and on to
several ponds; tunnels of yew and dogwood; walled rose garden; courtyards and lawns. Ever-popular and changing exhibition
of root dwellings and miniature porcelain, also demonstrations and sales, donations to National Garden Scheme. Dates For 2012 5,
6, 7, and 9th of May and 6, 7, 8, and 10th of October 2pm to 5pm. For further details click on the link here 'Whitehurst Garden NGS'.
