Our 2025/26 Winter Lecture Series has now concluded. Plans are underway for 2026/27 and full details will be published here when they are complete.
The sixth and final presentation was delivered by John Phibbs live at the Garden Museum in March 2026 – Repton at the Ecological Climax.
John’s passion for his hero and 18th Century landscapist Humphry Repton was apparent as he gave a persuasive argument for recognising Repton as a man ahead of his time, and as John believes, the “grandfather” of sustainable landscape design.
The following leaflet gives a glimpse of the impact Repton had on the UK landscape while also reflecting some of the changes migration has had on the trees, shrubs, and flowers we now accept as “native”.
