On Tuesday 14 October, ARTS SOCIETY WOKING’s talk is After Miss Jekyll. English Gardens of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. The dominance of Jekyll and the enduring popularity of gardens at Hidcote and Sissinghurst have proved to be an enduring legacy. But, subversive undercurrents of alternative styles and influences gained a greater importance and momentum as the new century emerged. Gardens like Portrack, Little Sparta and Througham Court have explored the worlds of literature and science. Meanwhile, the New Perennial movement, originating in Europe, has allied itself to our increasing desire to go organic and the interest in woodland and wild-flower meadows to produce a freer, gentler style of painting. Speaker James Bolton is organiser of The Arts Society's garden study days and tours in UK and Europe. Talks start at 10.30am but doors open 9.45am for tea, coffee & biscuits. Normandy Village Hall, GU3 2DT. Members may bring a visitor, who may want to make a donation to the Society of £10.
