THE GIBBERD GARDEN

Sir Frederick Gibberd, planner for Harlow New Town and art collector, lived near Harlow Mill and created a seven acre garden described by wine and garden writer Hugh Johnson as “first and foremost an entertainment ... It is landscape as theatre.” Apart from the plants and landscaping, the garden also contains around eighty pieces of sculpture, ceramics and pieces of architectural salvage.

It is open on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons and Bank Holiday Mondays from 30 March and will be hosting special events and cultural tours throughout the summer.
