IN PERSON
Guided Tour
Crescent Garden, Alverstoke, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 2DH
Discover the gardens’ significance to the building of Angleseyville, how this historic Regency garden fell into abandonment, and the subsequent resurrection to its former glory with wonderful planting.
Visitors will enjoy a guided tour of the garden, originally laid out in the Regency period, and will learn of the history of this wonderful Regency Garden cared for by a dedicated team of volunteers for over 30 years.
A key feature of the garden is the planting. All plants must have been introduced into Britain before 1850 or are British natural flora. You’ll hear all about these specific plants and trees.
The gardens’ significance to the building of Angleseyville and its links to the Austin family, will also be explained.
