The Beth Chatto Gardens began in 1960 as an overgrown wasteland which was then transformed into inspirational, informal gardens set within the countryside of East Anglia.

The Gardens include the Gravel Garden, world-famous for being drought-tolerant, in the driest part of the country, in free-draining gravel soil.  There is also the Water Garden, Woodland Garden and redeveloped Reservoir Garden which has interesting new planning of perennials.  The plant shop offers a wide range of plants, the majority propagated from the gardens or surrounding stock beds.

‘A garden for all seasons’, Green Island Gardens are created by garden designer Fiona Edmond and are a plantsman’s paradise with 20 acres filled with rare and unusual plants.  There is a series of garden rooms including a Japanese, Water, Gravel and Seaside Garden and also extensive Woodland Gardens.
