TURN END TRUST Upcoming Events in Turn End Garden Townside, Haddenham, Bucks HP17 8BG Hidden away in the heart of Haddenham, Turn End Garden is an intriguing series of different rooms, each with a distinctive character and planting style, framed by traditional wychert walls, a Victorian coach house and mature trees. The garden has been created over the past 50 years by architect Peter Aldington alongside his own award winning family home. In just over half an acre, space is used to create an illusion of size. The garden includes courtyards with pools, a curved lawn and shaded glades, sunken gardens, a dry garden, a small woodland area with spring bulbs, a bedding display with box hedging and an ericaceous garden. Turn End Trust is pleased to announce a series of events taking place in the garden during 2014. Please note: Booking for all events opens on April 10 th booking form enclosed below.

Her books have won prizes in the USA and the Birgit Skiold prize at the London Artists Book Fair 2007; her unique books are in private collections and libraries throughout the world. www.hunterbooks.co.uk Jean Mould Hart initially trained in fine art textiles at Goldsmiths College where she developed an interest in papermaking. She has taught for many years with work exhibited and collected widely here and abroad.
