Fullers Mill Gardens

(0 reviews)

Club Naturel are organising an INFORMAL Naturist visit to Fullers Mill, West Stow, Bury St Edmunds, IP28 6HD. Fullers Mill is an enchanting and tranquil seven-acre creation on the banks of the River Lark. It combines a beautiful site of light dappled woodland with a plantsman’s collection of unusual shrubs, perennials, lilies, and marginal plants. It is a garden of truly year-round interest. The garden was created by the late Bernard Tickner MBE (1924-2017). He moved to Fullers Mill in 1958 and spent over 50 years creating the garden you see today from rough scrub and woodland. In 2004, Bernard and his wife Bess donated the garden to The Fullers Mill Trust, a registered charity, which was established to manage the garden and to ensure its future. In 2013, the garden was gifted to Perennial, for its long-term preservation. Our team of gardeners and volunteers now maintain the garden for the enjoyment of visitors from April to October.

The fee for this event is £15 per person, pre-booked only.

Perennial and Club Naturel disclaims any and all liability for any loss, damage or injury occasioned by an accident or incident.
