Staff captures from the week 🌿

As we wander through the gardens, our eyes are drawn to different corners. Each of us sees Nymans through our own lens, noticing the plants, colours and moments that catch our attention.

This week, some of our team favourites include the rambling Rector rose weaving through the dry beds, the white wisteria now taking over from the purple on the pergola, the beautiful Calycanthus ‘Venus’, and the striking Aesculus wilsonii.

The gardens are always changing, and that’s part of what makes them so special, there’s always something new to discover, depending on where your gaze falls.

These are our picks from the week. What are yours? We’d love to see the gardens through your eyes too. Share your favourite Nymans moments in the comments. 🌸✨

🕰️ Clock Conservation at Nymans

Meet horologist Duncan at work conserving the historic Long Case Clock, one of the treasures saved from the devastating fire and taken away by the family to Flaxley Abbey.

After years away from the collection, the clock was finally bought back at auction and returned to Nymans in 2022. Duncan is now carefully checking the movement, carrying out minor servicing work including oiling the mechanism and replacing a missing, broken suspension component to keep the clock ticking for future generations.

A fascinating glimpse into the skilled conservation work that happens behind the scenes at Nymans. ⏳

🎭 Outdoor Theatre - A Midsummer Night’s Dream 🎟️

Join us for this adaptation of William Shakespeare’s much-loved story, set against the backdrop of Nymans romantic ruins. Bring a picnic and sit back and relax. Get to see the gardens at dusk.

📆Suitable for audiences of all ages. Fri 5 Jun: Gates 6pm, performance 7pm - 9pm

The woods outside Athens are busy this night. Four young Athenian lovers are lost. Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairy-folk, are quarrelling whilst a group of craftsmen (who also happen to be some not-so-very-talented actors) are meeting in secret to rehearse their play.

Too many characters and not enough actors will see Shakespeare’s story of love, mistaken identity and magic brought to life in a comedic and potentially hat-astrophic production

💐Feeling grateful for blue skies this Bank Holiday, the perfect invitation to step outside, wander through nature, picnic with loved ones, and pause to appreciate the beauty around us.

Take time to smell the roses and wisteria, stretch your legs, breathe deeply, and enjoy the season in full bloom.

These little scrolls from our gardens are a gentle reminder that every month brings something new to fall in love with. 🌿✨
