<p><u>The Pant & New Inn Farm</u> June 8th </p>
<h3><strong>Two neighbouring private gardens hidden deep in the Welsh valleys, both strongly and imaginatively connected to the landscape, both belonging to notable garden journalists, and opening especially for us.</strong></h3>
<h3>First visit of the day is The Pant, Camilla and Jeremy Swift’s garden, a brilliant, inspiring garden, formal and wild, personal and eccentric, full of deft and humorous references to everything from art and poetry to classical history. The garden climbs upwards in a series of terraces, with many diversions <em>en route</em> and unveils an archaeological mystery at the top.</h3>
<p>We have a picnic lunch at The Pant and then it’s a short stroll across to Stephen Anderton’s New Inn Farm, which he describes as being mainly about the woodland and the riverbank at this time of year, with trees and moss - a green and peaceful place to wander. </p>
<p><strong>The tour starts and ends at Newport (Wales) station. Travel between the station and gardens will be by coach.</strong></p>
<p><strong>10.23am</strong>. Meet coach at Newport Station. <strong>16.30.</strong> Depart gardens for station. <em>(Based on trains from London and Bristol).</em></p>
<p>Further details to be confirmed </p>
