The Story about The Walnut Tree
An old walnut tree once stood in the garden of my husband’s childhood home. When it was felled, we found a note pinned to the trunk: “Beautiful tree. Many uses. Call me.”
That single tree lives on as lovingly handcrafted stools, tables and boards - its story reshaped, not ended.
The Walnut Gallery grew from the same belief: that beauty evolves and craftsmanship endures. Designed alongside family life, the story continues, as we collaborate with talented artists and makers to create a welcoming space where beautiful, thoughtful works of art can be discovered and loved.
Pop in and visit us - we look forward to welcoming you!
