The Gardens are now closed for the winter.

Fundraising continues for the restoration of the balustrade around the lilypond in the Italian garden and our volunteers will be gardening through the winter to ensure the Gardens are ready for a fantastic season in 2021.

Dates for 2021 will be uploaded soon, starting with snowdrop days in February, then Open Thursdays from March to November, and our monthly full season Open Days April to October - subject of course to the Covid restrictions in place at the time.

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.
