Paul Atterbury – The Making of a Dorset Garden – Friday 21st November 2025

Friday 21st November, 7.00 pm (doors open at 6.30 pm) in The Old School Hall, Upwey

Paul Atterbury is a writer, lecturer, curator, historian and broadcaster and is best known for his thirty years of appearances on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow.

Paul tells the story of how an inventive and memorable garden was created from a narrow, sloping half acre of meadow in Eype, near Bridport. It was challenging, expensive and took about five years, but the result justified the effort. The message for gardeners is clear: be creative, have no fear and everything is possible. Or, to put it more simply: nothing ventured, nothing gained.
