Landscape Architect Ollie Pike will talk about some of his latest projects that connect people, place and heritage including the Percy Cane Heritage Garden and National Trust garden at Lyveden Manor.

Ollie will talk us through design challenges and how decisions are made to better connect us to nature and heritage. From recreating the lost public gardens at Broomhill Community Library previously designed by eminent designer Percy Cane in the 1930’s to working with the National Trust at a huge scale to improve visitor access to a 16th Century garden.
