We bid a very fond farewell to Jackie Hunt, Gardener at Turn End since 2010.  Jackie’s incredible knowledge and sheer hard work has shaped the gardens in a fresh and contemporary way whilst remaining true to the spirit of the original garden as designed by the Aldingtons. We are indebted to Jackie's unwavering support and invaluable assistance with the development of the Trust, working extensively with trustees allied partners, and external specialists to develop our public events programme, fundraise and work on future plans. Thank you, Jackie, for the myriad of wonderful things you achieved for Turn End.

Jackie Hunt, our Gardener, explains her inspiration for plant selection from a study trip to Corfu.

In Spring 2022 we were delighted to welcome London based designer and ceramics maker Louise Madzia for a photo shoot of her recent work in Turn End’s garden.

We recently commissioned ceramic specialists Kenneth Watt and Dana Norris of Oxford-based Watt and Norris Conservation to conserve a vase that has been a feature in the garden for the past fifty years. Find out more about their work in this article by Kenneth.
