A Gardener's Glimpse offers a tour of Gibside's Georgian landscape, led by the Head Gardener, who shares insights into the seasonal changes and care of the heritage gardens. This ongoing series allows visitors to connect with nature and gain knowledge from a horticultural expert. Admission is required to participate in the tours at this historic site in Newcastle.
Step into the heart of Gibside's Georgian landscape and discover the season through the eyes of our Head Gardener, a horticultural specialist with a wealth of experience nurturing heritage gardens.
This intimate guided walk offers an opportunity to explore the immediate formal gardens and inner pleasure grounds in their seasonal glory.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or simply enchanted by nature's changing palette, this tour promises to inspire and share knowledge of the estate's horticultural history, as well as learning the current work of the dedicated gardening team.
Ask questions along the way, see seasonal beauty spots, and take home some top gardening tips.
