It was the secret garden but now we can all enjoy the beautiful Plantation Garden in Norwich which has so much to offer.
A peaceful and colourful retreat off Earlham Road it has opened its arms and is welcoming us to enjoy all that it has to offer.
It has quite a story to tell and that will be told in free public and quite dramatic and exclusive performances by the Time Will Tell Theatre company on Wednesday (July 5).
Paradise Lost and Found is a history of the Plantation Garden and what came before it.
This is a bespoke costume drama following the colourful and fascinating story of the garden’s Victorian origins, its collapse into ruin in the 20th century, and its later rescue by local people, to become the “little gem” it is today.
The show, originally devised for Primary aged children, can be enjoyed by all ages, and is especially suited to families.
These special performances will take place in the garden itself, and last for around 40 minutes.
Visitors are advised to arrive in good time to secure the best viewing spots and weatherproof flooring will be available to sit on.
Admission is subject to the normal entrance requirements (£2 for adults, members and under-16’s free).
Afterwards the audience can continue to explore Plantation Garden itself, with its amazing “gothic” fountain, staircase and other stone features, plus woodland area, grottos, and spectacular flower beds.
There are free performances of Paradise Lost and Found by the Time Will Tell theatre company on Wednesday July 5 at 11am. 12.30pm and 2pm.
