THE SHOP

Gilbert White's House & Gardens puts sustainability at the heart of its nature-themed shop.

The shop is filled with nature inspired gifts, making brilliant presents for all the family. The shop stocks a diverse array of eco products, from a variety of local craftspeople. There is boutique jewellery, clothing, accessories, nature-themed books, toys, sustainable homeware products, and cards by local artists.

Organic produce from the garden is on offer in the shop Products Includes honey from the apiary, jams from the berries and seed packets from the flowers all of which have been produced by our volunteers. Locally produced beverages are on sale which include, Gin using the year's fruits produced at Winchester Distillery, Cuvée Brut and Rosé Brut wines produced by Hambledon Wineries and craft beer from the onsite 1765 brewhouse.

To continue White's legacy, the museum and gardens are run with sustainability at the core of its operations. Every year there is an Eco Christmas Fair, sustainably based craft stalls at the annual ‘Nature Day’ in May and the’ Unusual Plants Fair’ in June which is a top priority. Craft workshops are also run throughout the year, including creative collaging, needle felting, willow weaving, wreath making and much more!

Gilbert White's House & Gardens also has an Artist in Residence (an annual placement). The artist contributes to art and craft in the shop, as well as participating in workshops for families and schools.
