Wednesday the 28th September is the last open afte

Wednesday the 28th September is the last open afternoon of 2022 - so please don't miss it ! There is still plenty to see in the borders, the fountains will be playing and our tree trail is there for you to follow and learn from. The rare breed animals will also be in the paddocks waiting to say farewell until Spring. Sure they will miss all our visitors. So please do come, the gates will be open from 1pm until 5pm. 🗝
If you have enjoyed the gardens during our open days please VOTE for us in the RHS partner garden of the year competition. It's easy to do through their website. 🙏
Be assured that there will be plenty of work going in during the autumn and winter while the gardeners prepare the gardens for Spring 2023. If you'd like to be kept in the loop about their activities and the progress of the gardens and plants behind the scenes please sign up to our own website and we'll send you our quarterly newsletter via email.
In the meantime enjoy the cooler months and see you in Spring ! 🌱

Light of a new day. The gardens will be open on We

Light of a new day.
The gardens will be open on Wednesday & Weekend afternoons for the remainder of the month. There is still plenty of colour in the borders and many trees to admire and learn about. Enjoy walking through the leafy avenues, around the Great Basin or find a quiet spot to simply sit and reflect.

Our painterly borders, designed by Lady Ralph Kerr

Our painterly borders, designed by Lady Ralph Kerr, are looking rather fine right now. Here you can see the Long border beside the mill stream with aptly named Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' (paniculate hydrangea 'Limelight') stealing the show. Supporting acts are Verbena bonariensis, Hesperantha coccinea (syn. Schizostylis coccinea), Japanese anemone and Rosa Munstead Wood = 'Ausbernard'.
The gardens are open Weekend and Wednesday afternoons from 1-5pm up until the end of September. There's still plenty to enjoy! 🌿
