Barnsley House’s head gardener will be leading the hunt for a rare seasonal flower this Easter.
Richard Gatenby will head a morning trek in search of the meadow Pasque Flower. Extremely rare in the UK, this delicate purple bloom is found in only a few places, including a spot a few miles from Barnsley.
The trek is open to guests on a special package at Barnsley House, the former home of garden designer Rosemary Verey and now a hotel.
The package, includes an evening screening of ‘Greenfingers’ in the hotel’s private cinema, and use of the spa facilities. Provisional dates, subject to flowering, are April 12/13 and 19/20.
