Walled Garden

Our most traditionally planted garden is a secluded and intimate place to spend time among bright and bold flowers.

Colourful flowers in the Walled Garden at Wakehurst in summer

The Walled Garden is Wakehurst’s most exquisite, intimate space.

A wonderful expression of the English Country Garden style and full of soft, subtle colours; it's packed with bulbs in the spring and flowering until the hard frosts come in November. 

Stop long enough and notice the sweet scent of the exotic shrubs. A wonderful photo opportunity for avid photographers.
