- Free event (admission applies)
In 2024 and 2025 we’re celebrating the 200 anniversary of the Hortus Croomensis, a book written by William Deam, Botanic Gardener at Croome in the 1820s. “Pages from Nature” explores the incredible work of William Dean in his documentation of Croome’s landscape and its exceptional collection of plants at a time when the gardens were considered as second only to Kew.
The tour discusses the staggering restoration work that has undergone on since the NT has been caring for this landscape and how important the Hortus Croomensis has been in understanding the gardens and parkland at Croome.
Visitors can sign up to tours at Visitor Reception on arrival at Croome. Each tour is limited to 20 people and allocated on a first come basis.
