Since 1955 Gilbert White's House and Gardens in Selborne, Hampshire, has been a museum dedicated to telling the stories of three explorers of the natural world - 18th century naturalist Gilbert White, the 'father of ecology', Frank Oates, and Captain Lawrence Oates, who explored Antarctica with Captain Scott's Terra Nova expedition.
We are a hive of conservation and education and have moved from strength to strength with our plans to develop further as a centre for natural history excellence and preserve this unique place of international importance.
The environmental and historic legacy preserved at Gilbert White's House and Gardens has never been more relevant to modern life. We welcome over 25,000 visitors and 5300 schoolchildren every year to engage with nature. Through our collections, events, and education programmes and our promotion of nature connection and biodiversity we inspire journeys of discovery.
As an independent charity, Gilbert White’s House and Gardens needs your help to continue to inspire journeys into the natural world for future generations. Please help us to continue Gilbert White’s legacy to nature by leaving us a gift in your will.
