About the event

Tour of 2 Exclusive Private Gardens
Broadway’s gardens have been the backdrop for artists, writers, actors and musicians for over a century, and continue this theme today.

On this walking tour of two famous private gardens with Marion Mako, we shall hear about some of the stories behind those who created, inhabited and visited them, all looking their finest in June.

The morning garden tour will visit Russell House (starting point) and Abbots Grange.

The tour will start at Russell House which was the home of the Broadway Art Colony in the 1880’s, and was the setting for Sargent’s Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose which now hangs in the Tate in London; a beautiful one acre garden including gothic tower, gazebo and ice-house.

The tour will then continue on to Abbots Grange. Sat in over 8 acres of parkland grounds, Abbots Grange is the oldest dwelling in Broadway and one of the oldest domestic/monastic properties in the UK, built during the early part of the 14th Century. It is considered by the Institute of Archaeology to be one of the most important and best preserved English monastic manor houses, and has a rich and fascinating history. It was discovered in the 1880’s by designer William Morris and then the American Frank Millet and became a sanctuary for some of the greatest names in European and American culture in the 1880’s.

Marion Mako will be leading the tour and is a freelance garden historian and designer who has worked in both the UK and USA.
