Food for Thought
Pioneering on Chalk
With Alex New of Highdown Gardens
Wednesday 6th September 12 noon
We are delighted to be welcoming Alex New, Curator of the magnificent Highdown Gardens.
Some of you will have visited the gardens many times, maybe watching it evolve and improve over the years. Others may have missed out on this gem of an attraction. Either way, once you have heard Alex’s story of how it came to be and what is on offer, we are sure you will take the first opportunity to pay a visit.
The talk will begin at 12 noon and will be followed by a two-course lunch all for £28
