Welcome to East Lambrook Manor Gardens,
England's foremost cottage garden.

The cottage garden created by the renowned 20th-century plantswoman and gardening writer Margery Fish.


“In the development of gardening in the second half of the twentieth century no garden has yet had greater effect.” John Sales, National Trust


East Lambrook Manor Gardens is the iconic and quintessentially English cottage garden created by the celebrated 20th-century plantswoman and gardening writer Margery Fish. It was here that she developed her own style of gardening, combining old-fashioned and contemporary plants in a relaxed and informal manner to create a garden of immense beauty and charm.

The English Heritage Grade 1 listed garden is characterised by many winding paths through abundant borders and is renowned as the premier example of the English cottage garden style. It has noted collections of snowdrops, hellebores and hardy geraniums and there is an excellent specialist hardy plant nursery in the garden.


THE GARDEN REOPENED ON 1st FEBRUARY for our FESTIVAL OF SNOWDROPS which runs throughout the month. Go to Events for more details.
Update on Wednesday 14th February: The snowdrops are at least a week to ten days earlier this year and the current warm day and night temperatures are causing the snowdrops to go over very quickly and much sooner than last year. Come as soon as possible to see them at their best!


Tickets for the garden can be booked online using the link below or, if you prefer, you can just turn up and pay when you arrive.
