Old Herbaceous
7th April 2017 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
£10 – £30
BY REGINALD ARKELL
dramatised by Alfred Shaughnessy
Part of Daff Fest 2017, sponsored by 1863 Bar Bistro Rooms
Pottering amongst the seeds and cuttings at the back of his ramshackle greenhouse in the garden of a Gloucestershire manor house is Herbert Pinnegar. Now in his twilight years, he’s full of memories and tales of a bygone era. In-between potting up and potting on, he recounts his journey from orphan boy to legendary head gardener ‘Old Herbaceous’ and tells of his friendship with the lady of the house, Mrs Charteris. Sown with seeds of gardening wisdom, this charming one man show is a love story – a humorous portrayal of a single-minded yet gentle man with a passion for plants.
