About the event

The Time Traveller's Guide to Hamilton Gardens
Through captivating storytelling and stunning photography by Grant Sheehan, The Time Traveller’s Guide to Hamilton Gardens shares all the hidden secrets and fascinating histories behind each garden. Travelling through time simply by walking through a garden is the vision of Peter Sergel, the mastermind behind and original director of Hamilton Gardens.

​In this entertaining talk, Peter will provide highlights of Hamilton Gardens. There will be a prize raffle while copies of the book will also be available for purchase.

​Dr Peter Sergel was first asked to produce a plan for Hamilton Gardens in 1978. Peter and others subsequently set up a series of committees and trusts to raise funds for development of the Gardens. His professional career saw him directly involved in the Gardens for 43 years. He became director in 1995.

​His expertise in garden design and history has been recognised with a Royal Arch academic scholarship, overseas speaking engagements, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Waikato.

This event is supported by Friends of Hamilton Gardens, Hamilton Gardens Development Trust and the Garden History Research Foundation.

​$10 cash, no registration required
