Ian LeGros Curator RHS Garden Hyde Hall

I joined the Hyde Hall team as an untrained assistant gardener in 1992, was promoted to Garden Superintendent in April 2005 and then to Curator in June 2006. Over the years I have been lucky enough to play a lead role in many of Hyde Hall’s landmark projects including setting out the Farmhouse Garden, the redevelopment of the Queen Mother’s Garden, and the creation of the Millennium Avenue and Wild Wood. Most recently I helped to co-design the new Robinson Garden which was opened in 2007.

Half Term Fun at Hyde Hall

Posted by Ian LeGros on 20 May 2009 at 12:28 PM

Keep your little ones entertained this half term with a visit to RHS Garden Hyde Hall. 

Hop along to the Information Centre and pick up a copy of the "Hyde Hall Hare Trail" - a self guided trail where you can learn all about brown hares.  You'll soon be discovering where hares live, what they like to eat, how fast they can run and why they are different to rabbits. Who knows you might event spot a real hare!

 

Younger children will also be kept active with our "Garden Treasure Hunt" which gets little ones searching, smelling and feeling different flowers, leaves, trees and seeds.

On Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 May we're transforming the garden into a mini-farm - with goats, chickens, ducks, sheep, ponies and lots more.  A great way to keep the whole family amused!

Then take a well-earned break in our family friendly restaurant or alternatively pack a picnic and find yourself somewhere in the garden to eat lunch.

If you've some got some energy left why not bring along a kite and take advantage of Hyde Hall's big open spaces and magnificent views of the Essex countryside.
