overflowing flower beds and a formal garden structure of Classical and Moorish influences. Datta will give a virtual tour of each of the themed “rooms” of the property, and she will tell how they are maintained and enhanced in the 21st century all the while maintaining affection for the garden’s creators during her tenure at Sissinghurst. (Original designer Vita Sackville-West also was a writer and friend of Virginia Woolf and a fellow member of the Bloomsbury Group.) Registration for “Sissinghurst: Portrait of a Garden” is $20 for Garden Conservancy and Ebell members. General admission is $25. Visit gardenconservancy.org.
