The Gardens of Easton Lodge are an idyllic haven near Great Dunmow in Essex, with a history dating back to Tudor times and redesigned by Harold Peto in 1902. They have been partially restored to their former glory by a team of dedicated volunteers and the owners of Warwick House.

The Gardens re-open on 4 April,  for the first Open Thursday of the main season. The first Sunday Open Day is on 21 April 

The historic Gardens look beautiful in all seasons and have fun for all the family on Sunday Open Days. The Gardens showcase Harold Peto‘s grand and colourful Italian garden and his treehouse design, now rebuilt in the old oak tree. The walled kitchen garden is well stocked with fruit and vegetables, and seasonal produce is available for sale. There are ten national or regional champion trees and a collection of Essex’s historic varieties of fruit trees. In the Glade the trees enclose the stumpery, Japanese style rill and Japanese garden. The Gardens are Historic England Grade II Registered.

If you are interested in joining us as a volunteer or Trustee we recruit all year round.
