The Gardens are next open on 18 April.

This is the first of the monthly Open Days through the season April to October. Visitors need to book tickets in advance and social distancing arrangements will be in place in accordance with covid rules.   

The Gardens will also be open to visitors on Thursdays from 22 April. 

Fundraising continues for the restoration of the balustrade around the lilypond in the Italian garden and the work will start on site soon and should be completed in May.

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.
