Overview
Our lawned courtyards are framed by stunning herbaceous borders, planted with a rich variety of shrubs and perennials that provide structure, colour and interest throughout the year. Every season brings something new to discover, with this tour timed perfectly to showcase the rich textures and tones of early autumn.
The gardens have developed and matured over the past 30 years, with a mixture of formal planting, open lawns and wildlife-friendly areas, the gardens provide a space that all visitors can enjoy and explore.
Join our gardening team for this guided tour to gain a unique insight into the evolution of the gardens. Along the way, learn practical skills and gardening techniques that support sustainability and enhance biodiversity, from wildlife-friendly planting and habitat creation to environmentally responsible garden management practices. Discover how these approaches help create a thriving and resilient garden for both people and nature.
