News & Events

Access to Holehird from Windermere is unaffected by the closure of the A592 (Patterdale Road) above Troutbeck.  The road from the north over the Kirkstone Pass, and therefore access from Patterdale, is likely to be unavailable for some time but the LHS continues to welcome visitors to the gardens from the south.  

A full day course led by Letta Jones at Holehird Gardens, Patterdale Road, Windermere, LA23 1NP.

THURSDAY 20 July 2026 10.30 to 16.30

Join Letta Jones, lecturer in horticulture and the history of gardens for a day of tree identification using examples from Holehird and looking at specimens in the garden..

Letta ran an excellent Tree Identification course here in 2024. Members have previously enjoyed one on Herbs and a Zoom lecture on the history of Chelsea Physic Garden where she guides. Letta is a Landscape Horticulturist, has a Master’s Degree in the History of Medicine and has lectured at Birkbeck College, University of London, for more than 15 years.
