Michael Walker
Formerly Gardens Manager at Waddesdon Manor, Michael has a reputation for regenerating world-class gardens. But Trentham is the most challenging programme to date after 20 years of working for the National Trust. Here at Trentham, the accent will be on moving forward and taking risks, rather than simply recreating a piece of history.
“Whilst respecting the past, this is contemporary work – every time you
visit, you’ll discover new ideas.”
Below Garden's Manager Michael Walker tells his story of the born
again Trentham in this monthly series of articles, by describing how
today's designers and Gardeners have developed the site whilst paying
homage to its glorious history.
