The Salutation, The Quay, Sandwich. This Lutyens house and garden, planting believed to be by Gertrude Jekyll, has been restored after years of neglect, and the gardens re-opened to the public in May 2007. During the subsequent years they have continued the good work, and the gardens are really coming into their own. I am delighted to have been involved from the start of this process, and to continue to exhibit here as artist in residence.

The Sculpture Fortnight, Pashley Manor, Ticehurst, 21-30 May TN5 7HE; fabulous gardens and house - the wisteria should be in full bloom, and it covers the back of the house like a waterfall. The sculpture is beautifully and sympathetically set in the extensive gardens, and there's a good shop for smaller items. Excellent light lunches.

Finchcock's Garden Fair and Music Festival, 29-30 May TN17 1HH; they say this "promises to be a treasure trove for gardeners and those searching for something a little different for the ‘outside space’ or even an unusual gift". This is my first participation in their Spring Fair.
