Art in The Garden is being held in the gardens of Ramsbury Hill, the home of Mrs Julia Blunt. Layer upon layer, the garden is a haven for both the family and wider community. Many of the trees throughout the garden were planted by the family from seed – with many of these seeds coming from the renowned gardens of Ninfa in Italy. For generations, the family have poured love and commitment into the ground and this has created a truly wonderful garden which is at the heart of the village.
