George London: DISCOVERING HIS GARDEN

study day at fetcham park
May 2019

George London (c. 1650-1714) was one of the most influential nurserymen and garden designers during the late 17th and 18th century. Speakers were garden historian Dr Sally Jeffery, local historian Vivien White and Neil Cook, Head Gardener at Hanbury Hall. The study day focused on George London’s mastery of garden design, his originality and versatility spanning over three decades, including his work at Fetcham Park, believed to be his last completed garden, and Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire.
