Tom and Sue Stuart-Smith have funded the overall development of The Orchard Barn, situated in the Plant Library, which will serve as a horticultural education and events hub hosting talks, workshops, and school programs.

We are now fundraising to make this wonderful uplifting space available to local schools, charities, students of horticulture, designers and plant enthusiasts.

As a not-for-profit initiative, we rely on your support. If you would like to make a donation, please follow the payment link below. Alternatively, you can donate by BACS and email us to let us know. Our bank details are as follows:
