About: Ambra is a garden writer who has won awards for her journalism and boooks. She is returning to give us a richly illustrated talk about the story of great gardens chartering their fall- not quite as we imagine it- and she shows how many have risen spectacularly again, in such exciting reimaginings as Scampston, Alnwick and Mottisfont Abbey. She will delve deep into the history of walled gardens to explain why they exert such a powerful hold on our imaginations as paradise gardens, poison gardens , and gardens made for love.
