The Gardens are closed. Unfortunately, due to the continuing covid pandemic, the Gardens will not be open in February for visitors to enjoy the snowdrops.

Fundraising continues for the restoration of the balustrade around the lilypond in the Italian garden and our volunteers will be undertaking essential work through the winter to ensure the Gardens are ready for a fantastic season when we can open later in 2021.

The Gardens will be open as soon as it is safe for visitors and volunteers.

The Trustees will continue to monitor the situation closely.

The Gardens look beautiful in all seasons, & showcase Harold Peto's grand garden designs and treehouse, now rebuilt in the old oak tree. Peto's Italian garden is always colourful and we are fundraising to restore the balustrade in time for the 2021 season. The walled kitchen garden is well stocked with fruit and vegetables, and seasonal produce is available for sale. We have ten national or regional champion trees and in the Glade the trees enclose the stumpery, Japanese style rill and Japanese garden.

There’s plenty of space for children to run around and on Open Days there is catering from Daisy's kiosk: locally sourced bacon, or cheese or hummus rolls, hot and cold drinks and homemade cake.
