“GGs on the Go” – 2026
Join us as we come together to get out and about! A great opportunity to socialise with
each other over a common interest. Most visits are arranged with an ‘exclusive’ element
just for GG members such as talks from the Head Gardener, a behind the scenes view of
how the garden operates or a garden that is open just for us.
How can I reserve my place(s) for an event?

VISIT TO VANN GARDEN, VANN LANE, HAMBLEDON, GU8 4EF
FRIDAY 17th APRIL

£20 Members including tea / coffee & cake
This internationally renowned five-acre garden is formed by a series of ‘rooms’ which surround and complement a family home dating from the 16th century. From the old Cottage Garden with delightfully informal planting in a formal setting, to the robust Pergola of Bargate stone by W.D.Caröe, the Arts and Crafts architect and great grandfather of the present owners, to the Water Garden, laid out and planted by Gertrude Jekyll in 1911, and the newly designed and planted Centenary Garden, Vann offers inspiration to expert and amateur gardeners alike.
