VISITORS to the Elgar Birthplace Museum can now find out more about the composer’s garden.
People will be able to speak to the museum’s gardener Becky Sinclair through the introduction of a new notice board advertising the days she is working.
The notice board completes the development of the Birthplace Cottage garden, which is now a central part of any visit to the attraction.
Earlier developments included “Chatterboxes” that allow visitors to hear Jemma Pearson talk about her sculpture of Elgar and the gardener talking about her plans for the garden.
Museum marketing officer Mary Duffy said: “The Birthplace Cottage garden is one of the gems of the museum. With the completion of these developments visitors will now not only be able to see the wonderful colours and plants on display but also find out about the planting and how the garden is maintained. There is nothing better than listening to Elgar’s music on our audio guide while sitting next to him in the garden.”
The Elgar Birthplace Museum and Visitor Centre in Lower Broadheath, near Worcester, is open every day from 11am to 5pm.
