About Church Gardens

Harefield’s own ‘secret garden’. 17th Century Renaissance walled gardens on the outskirts of Harefield Village, next to the beautiful medieval church of St Mary’s and Anzac war cemetery. The gardens are the only remaining part of the Harefield Place estate and include a traditional kitchen garden and orchard.

The gardens are presently undergoing extensive restoration having fallen into neglect and disrepair since the demolition of the original manor house in 1813. The kitchen garden has been run as an organic vegetable garden for 20 years with 56 raised beds in a beautiful geometric pattern.

Since 2015, two 60 metre herbaceous borders and one double 20 metre herbaceous border have been created. More recently, an alpine bed, herb garden, fruit cage, auricula theatre, vine mount and cold frames have been added.

The orchard is an incredibly rare Renaissance ‘pleasure’ garden, with the remains of a terrace and unique arcaded wall, which was replanted as a cobnut nuttery over 100 years ago.

Home-made cake, tea, coffee and alcohol will be available throughout the day and light lunches from 12pm.
