Special Garden Events in Dorset

These are a small number of gardens where the open day events offer something extra such a talk by the head gardener, special refreshments or privileged access. Click on the links below to find out more about the garden and book tickets.

Canford School Arboretum, Canford Magna

The Arboretum at Canford School has been nationally recognised and has several unusual and rare tree species and two national collections. A limited number of tickets have been made available for this special one-day event, kindly hosted by Canford School on behalf of The National Garden Scheme. It includes a talk and guided tour with Dr Andrew Powell who is Master of Trees at Canford School. Andrew will share his wealth of botanical knowledge and talk about the history and ongoing developments at the arboretum. His sense of humour and love of the collection is infectious, making this a very entertaining morning amongst this magical and majestic collection of trees. Opens Saturday 19th October.
