In 2013, The Society was invited by the National Trust to mount an exhibition in the Orangery of Knole House to showcase the notable trees in our area. After months of extensive research, involving identifying, locating, recording and photographing our most important and interesting trees, the exhibition was held to great acclaim from September – October 2014.

As a result of its importance and popularity, The Society was asked to hold the exhibition at other three other venues in 2015: Lullingstone Castle, Riverhill Himalayan Gardens and West Heath School.
