Corporate Experiences | The Chiswick Garden with Pete the Gardener

 

 

 

For those looking for a fondly memorable addition to your corporate experience, office gathering or team building lunch, immerse your guests or team in the Chiswick garden with our ever-charming head horticulturist Peter Hatfield. A fun and unique way to create warm and lasting memories of your event, explore our sun-filled and abundant kitchen garden that supplies our restaurant and inspires our menu under the expert guidance of Pete, who has been cultivating our produce for the last 13 years. 

 

Activities can be tailored to your event schedule and priorities, from a 15-minute tour to 1.5-hour interactive activities. Content can also be tailored to speak to your event's aims, from green energy to ESG pillars to carbon footprint; alternatively, it's always a pleasure to simply guide guests around the garden we're so proud of. Guests can learn all about the history of Chiswick, the ethos of garden to plate, our micro-climate, organic management and controls, soil education, the realities of working with a seasonal kitchen garden and much more - plus get a chance to get up close and hands-on with learning more about the herbs, fruits and vegetables in the garden. Let us know all about your event and we'd be happy to create a bespoke experience for you and your guests or team.

 

Experiences are suitable for up to 15 guests at once and we can host up to two tours within one lunch or dinner booking.
