A garden for all seasonsAn enchanting garden nestled in the beautiful Torridge Valley located between Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. 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.

Family fun and eventsCreate your own family adventures around the garden with our trails and play areas. Get stuck in with garden themed art and craft workshops or become a budding gardener as you sow and grow along with us.

The garden is an inspirational backdrop for sculpture exhibitions, craft and antique fairs and a programme of diverse leisure learning courses in gardening, photography, craft and art.

Food, drink and shoppingOur award-winning Garden Kitchen restaurant serves seasonal menus, full of quality garden and local produce along with freshly baked cakes and scones. Enjoy delicious afternoon tea, Sunday carvery or eat alfresco with one of our freshly prepared jute picnic bags.

You can also choose from a great range of top quality plants in the Plant Centre, including RHS Award of Garden Merit and plants that are approved RHS Perfect for Pollinators. The Plant Centre offers a 5-year hardy plant guarantee. Find a wide selection of gifts, books, stationery and garden accessories in the shop. Look out for free Plant Centre & Gift Shop events.
