About
Go on a global journey through this amazing Victorian garden created by Darwin contemporary James Bateman as an extension of his beliefs, interests and collection of plants. Discover in this spectacularly picturesque venue a Chinese landscape based on a Willow pattern design; a Himalayan Glen; an Egyptian Court and an Italianate garden plus geological gallery. Also featured on BBC2's Secret Gardens with Alan Titchmarsh.
They have restored the Grade 1 listed garden to its Victorian heyday using contemporary descriptions and plans supported by archaeological evidence - the aim being to restore it as closely as possible to James Bateman’s original vision. The main source of inspiration and guidance for the restoration is an 1862 description of the gardens by Edward Kemp.
