Visitors can expect to see luxuriant borders, a magical bluebell wood, a wildflower meadow, and a 17th-century manor house constructed of mellow Northamptonshire stone. The garden offers color and interest throughout the seasons, making it a delight for plant enthusiasts and all visitors.
Visitors can enjoy homemade lunches and teas at the Stableyard Cafe when the garden is open. Additionally, there is an extensive nursery with over a thousand varieties of plants, many of which are unusual and propagated from the garden. Season tickets for future visits are also available for purchase online.
The new book by the owner of the garden charts her passion for gardening, detailing the evolution of the garden over 30 years. It imparts knowledge, shares mistakes made, and highlights the sheer delight to be gained from gardening. The book is beautifully illustrated and showcases the garden's journey to becoming one of the finest in England.
This botanical garden was voted 'The Nation's Favourite Garden' in 2019 by garden visitors, featured in a Channel 5 series on Great British Gardens, and described by Country Life as a 'Symphony of color where flamingos mix with flowers.' It is a dream and a joy for lovers of gardens, with every corner providing a 'wow' factor.
The garden is open from Good Friday for the season, with opening hours from Tuesday to Saturday from 11.30am to 5.00pm. The garden is closed on Sundays and Mondays, except on Bank Holidays when it will be open each day throughout Bank Holiday weekends.
