More Information (V2 Radio is not responsible for external websites)

Between March and November (excluding August), Arundel Museum will be holding a new exhibition on the History of Arundel Castle Gardens. Visitors to the exhibition at Arundel Museum will explore the history and changes that have been made in the Castle gardens with stunning photographs of the gardens. Uncovering the changes from the Victorian gardens through to the transformation of a visitor car park into today’s wonderful Collector Earl’s Garden and the renewal of the medieval Stew Ponds.

During the 1990s the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk set about improving the gardens so that they became a key part of a visitor’s day. An 18th century bowling green was turned into the Rose Garden. Julian and Isabel Bannerman were commissioned to design the Collector Earl’s Garden – a light-hearted tribute to the 14th (Collector) Earl of Arundel. Envisioned as a theatrical space, the garden is inspired by historical designs and paintings from the Castle.

Under the stewardship of Martin Duncan, the Castle’s Head Gardener, each year there is something new to delight and excite visitors, particularly the ever-popular tulip festival. Martin is supported by a brilliant team. Sometimes changes in the garden are out of necessity – removing the box hedging due to pests offered the chance to plant new lavender hedging, yew balls, dwarf apple trees and mixed herbs in the Kitchen Garden.

Entry to the exhibition is included in the Museum ticket price.
