Surrounded by woodland, the garden is rich in variety throughout every season and features inspiring planting displays enhanced by the natural beauty of North Devon. These include the largest rose gardens in the South West, the stunning Hot Garden, a Devon Cottage Garden, lake and stream, fruit and vegetable garden, natural flower meadows and bluebell carpeted woodlands. See our events calendar for month by month garden highlights.
