Wednesday 7th May at 7.30pm
Katherine Mills, National Trust manager of Munstead Wood, is speaking at the Hascombe Village Hall AGM to explain the history and future of Munstead Wood.

Munstead Wood was designed by Edwin Lutyens, built by Messrs Underwood of Dunsfold 1896/97 for Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932). She revolutionised the art, theory and practice of gardening and pioneered many principles which underpin gardening today. Gertrude Jekyll democratised gardening, sharing ideas, advice and inspiration through the popular media of the day reaching every level of society and giving birth to a national obsession.
The National Trust bought the property a couple of years ago and are preparing it for opening to the public. Katherine Mills of the National Trust is attending the Hascombe Village Hall AGM and will be giving an insight into Munstead Wood, its history and Jekyll’s rich legacy which is helping to shape plans for the property’s future.
Free entry Wednesday 7th May, 7.30pm. Please note this is at Hascombe Village Hall
