The Garden Master, Prof Tim Barraclough, and Head Gardener, David Craft, took us off on a tour of Addison’s Walk and the Fellows’ Garden on Saturday 22nd April.

They shared information about the history and maintenance of the gardens, as well as ongoing projects to enhance biodiversity within the gardens themselves, and ways to improve visitors and College members’ experience of them.

Addison’s Walk and the Fellows’ Garden were full of fritillaries, anemones, a wide variety of daffodils, scillas, and crocuses. You can watch a virtual tour of Addison’s Walk here for our virtual tour of Addison’s Walk to give you an idea. The tour was followed by refreshments in the Old Kitchen Bar.
