History of Arundel Castle Garden Exhibition at Arundel Museum

Arundel Museum are currently holding a colourful and exciting exhibition: ‘History of Arundel Castle Gardens’ charting the changes from the Victorian gardens, the transformation of a car park into the wonderful Collector Earl’s Garden, and the renewal of the medieval Stew Ponds, with stunning photographs of the gardens. 

See the transformation of an 18th century bowling green into the Rose Garden and the commissioning of Julian and Isabel Bannerman to design the Collector Earl’s Garden – a light-hearted tribute to the 14th (Collector) Earl of Arundel inspired by historical designs, drawings and paintings.

The garden’s rill or stream represents the River Arun and Oberon’s Palace is in tribute to Inigo Jones, a friend of the Collector Earl. 

Under the stewardship of Martin Duncan, the Castle’s Head Gardener, each year there is something new to delight and excite visitors, particularly the ever-popular tulip festival.

Details on the Arundel Museum website: www.arundelmuseum.org
