Burton Constable Hall

We are really excited that Doug Stewart, the well-known gardening expert Waring Stewart Associates will be attending the Summer Plant Fair at Burton Constable on Sunday 30th June.
If you have any gardening queries you will be able to find him on the South Lawns at his 'Plant Doctor' Stall!

The Garden Volunteers are busy today planting 450 Geraniums in 20 wooden barrels!
In 2018 they contributed 744 hours of their precious time to help support the Burton Constable Foundation the charity that runs Burton Constable Hall & Grounds #VolunteersWeek

It’s the last day of the International Veterans Cycle Association Rally and there are lots of historic cycles on display in the Grounds and Stables. Over 200 bikes from 13 countries!

At the beginning of #VolunteersWeek we would like to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers 👏🏻👏🏻 Without them we would be unable to open the Hall to the public!
Here are our lovely Saturday volunteers who’ll be enjoying yummy cake later 🍰🍰 Volunteers' Week

As part of the 'Celebration of Summer' at Burton Constable on the weekend of 29th & 30th June we have two fab workshops by Twigs&Sprigs & Create and Bloom

The small but perfectly formed gardens at Burton Constable are looking particularly lush at this time of year. And yes, it is a very large willow Pineapple you can see in the flower bed! Pineapples were grown in the Orangery during the 18th Century, apparently they were a bit of a status symbol!
