JGS SE – Compton Acres Visit

31 August 2024 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

JGS is proposing to visit Compton Acres in Dorset, which is slightly beyond the reaches of our SE region, but which has a Japanese garden we thought might be worth exploring as a summer outing. Compton Acres was designed in the 1920s and the Japanese garden has a Tea House, thatched summerhouse and stone and bronze works of art imported fromJapan.  We plan to request a guided tour of the gardens which will probably be in the morning.  Members should make their own way to the garden and pay admission (some concessions available).  Please let us know if you are coming – there will be a small charge to join the guided tour.

The gardens offer a cafe tearoom for lunch and we are able to recommend a few local nurseries if you wish to extend your visit to these in the afternoon.

Please contact the secretary at sesec@jgs.org.uk if you wish to join.
