About 24 Grove Park

An exotic garden full of the exuberance of late summer, inspired by travel in Southeast Asia. A lush and naturalistic jungle of big leafed plants and bold colours and shapes including cannas, bananas, bamboos, tetrapanax and towering paulownias.

Huge ‘hidden’ garden, created in 2010 from buying derelict land which had been the bottom halves of two neighbour’s gardens gives the garden an unexpected size. Three ponds, a productive area and contemporary sunken terrace full of pampered prized plants.

We deliver on the ‘wow’ factor with visitors being surprised by the scale of the garden and getting lost in the exotica. The garden changes and improves every year as the plants grow bigger and the feel gets ‘junglier’.

The lower lawn has lots of seating (30+) and hidden corners give space to sit and enjoy. Renowned for good teas and home-made cakes.

All being well the Secret Life Sax quartet should be playing from approx 2-4pm

Last admission at 4:30.
