walled gardens, hidden retreats and tea pavilions and is now on
site at the National Wildflower Centre.

Natural Booty
When Summer Palace was first commissioned, Lisa Cheung invited
allotment groups, gardeners and community organisations to bring
plants, vegetables and flowers to place in the sculpture.
To celebrate Summer Palace at the National Wildflower Centre,
we would like people to bring any natural object to fill it again.
If you plan to visit the National Wildflower Centre this Summer,
please bring an object if you can, to place during your visit.
We will be listing all objects and the people who brought them
to show the huge enthusiasm and love we know is out there for
nature's booty!
Unfortunately we cannot return any objects and please note when
choosing an object that Summer Palace is permanently outdoors.
Volunteers
We have vacancies across the Centre for volunteers to become involved in our work, not just potting plants, but welcoming visitors, assisting on workshops, and in many other ways. Please contact us for further information.
