What really happens before the gates open at Chelsea Flower Show? An intimate evening of stories, conversation, local food and wine inside a historic Wiltshire walled garden.
This is not a formal lecture. It is a relaxed 30-minute conversation followed by questions, with time afterwards to wander, eat locally made walking nibbles, have a drink and meet some of the other people gathering around this new place.
Bothy Gardens is an historic Georgian walled garden near Wroughton that is slowly being restored and reimagined as a place for plants, learning, creativity and community.
Arrival from 6 pm · Conversation 6.30 pm
Includes walking nibbles and your first drink. Limited to 30 people.

Come to one evening or join the Barn Raising Tribe for the whole season.
The £215 Tribe Pass includes all five conversations plus the Thanksgiving Feast. But it is intended to be more than a discounted ticket. Tribe members are part of the founding community around the Garden Library, with first news, invitations, and opportunities to be involved as the space develops into 2027.
