This is a very special visit, the first of three guided tours of the Natural History Museum’s recently redesigned East Garden, now called the Evolution Garden. Please note that the tour is limited to 20 persons, so book early to avoid disappointment.

We’ll meet by the staff entrance to Natural History Museum, opposite the V&A, on Exhibition Road, right of the huge bronze gates, at 8.45am. The tour will end in the new Kitchen Garden Café where we can buy coffee and buns.

Keith Jennings, the museum’s director of estates, projects and master planning, and the driving force behind the garden’s transformation, will be our guide. As we gather Keith will tell us how the garden came about, an interesting and inspirational story in which the Kensington Society was actively involvement. Then he will lead along the path which, through actual stones and plants, tells the story of how life on earth has evolved, from the days of the dinosaurs up to today. It is true natural history story.

Two further lecture tours, on the evolution of the stones and the planting, will be led by the specialists who designed the garden. We will be running these next year – so keep an eye out.
