  Lecture -Saul Walker – Stonelands House: A Year in the Life of this Wonderful Secret Garden

  After a brief spell as an archaeologist, he trained as a gardener for the National Trust at Antony House in Cornwall. 

  After completing the Kew Diploma in Botanical Horticulture, Saul travelled to Australia, Southern Spain and the French Riviera to study and work in internationally-renowned gardens. 

  Following that, he became Show Manager for RHS Chelsea. 

  Unable to resist the call back to his native Devon, Saul was appointed Head Gardener of Stonelands House. His special interest is in woodland gardens
