Reviews and comments on The Beth Chatto Gardens

 

I visited these famous gardens many years ago, and had the chance to go again this week. I had forgotten how beautiful they are! They are working on a new area of raised beds at present. Even at this time of year there are plenty of plants in flower, including many different Asters, Autumn crocuses, Verbenas, Rudbeckias and lovely grasses. There is a well-run Nursery on site - very tempting - and helpful staff who know their plants!

I live just a fifteen minute drive from here and visit fairly often. It has such a wide range of planting, from the dry garden to waterside plants, that there really is something of interest on every visit. It is beautifully landscaped and is very relaxing and peaceful (even with lots of visiting enthusiasts!). The nursery has a huge selection of perennials and I've not yet managed to visit without being tempted to buy at least one. The plants are well cared for and I think they are good value for money. There is also a tea/coffee shop that sells wonderful home made cakes!

We live near Beth Chatto's garden, and regularly visit to buy plants from the nursery.

In fact we will be there in the next few days as we are replanting an area of our own garden:

How do you change the marker on the map. The original poster has placed it in the wrong place!!!!

The garden site is actually south east of Elmstead Market, not west of it!
