Gorhambury Garden Tour with Head Gardener
We offer a chance for an in depth look around the gardens at Gorhambury House taken by our Head Gardener Gill Hewis.
The gardens comprise many areas and styles from formal to wildflower meadow, Herbaceous borders to cut flower and vegetable garden. There are some historic features and topiary alongside modern planting schemes by Tom Stuart Smith.
You will start with refreshments and an introduction to the history of the estate, the current mansion and garden. Then a leisurely guided tour around the gardens where you can ask questions and find out about the specimen plants, stories and anecdotes.
As part of the Tom Stuart-Smith designs, Spring 2024 will be the first time the 30,000 plus bulbs that have been planted in the autumn of 2023 will be on display. We are hosting just 2 spring bulb events in 2024 on the following dates:
25th April – Spring Bulb and Rhododendron special event.
1st May – Spring Bulb and Rhododendron special event.
In May and June there are some wonderful rhododendrons, camellias, flowering shrubs and trees as well as formal lawns, wildflower meadows and historic topiary. In July the herbaceous boarders look wonderful and the garden is popular with lots of butterflies. Our final event in 2024 will be in September when the garden is abundant with fruits, seeds and autumn leaves.
