About East Ruston Old Vicarage

East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden totals 32 acres. Here is a youthful Arboretum, an Orchard containing heritage fruit trees from East Anglia and a National Collection of Colchicums or Naked Ladies contained in a 12-acre area to the east of the garden. Closer to the house you will find the Dutch Garden, bedded out for spring and for summer annually.

A Thalictrum Garden containing, somewhat obviously, Thalictrum’s amongst many other perennials, annuals and bulbs. A Sunk Garden that is sheltered from the wind containing a wildlife pond and raised beds. The Exotic Garden where Lucious foliage and flamboyant flowers compete for attention with the soaring fountain that resembles a water spout or tornado funnel. A woodland garden that is reaching maturity. Here shade planting is surprisingly successful and the wildlife that this area attracts is quite phenomenal.
The Desert Wash, full of spear-like, spikey plants that you might find in Arizona, many having reached flowering size. The Mediterranean Garden, its south facing terraces designed to make to most of the sun’s rays and home to many, so-called half-hardy plants that thrive in this sheltered environment. A productive Vegetable Garden leads to a super colourful Dahlia Border and the monumental Fruit Cage. Adjacent to this is the Diamond Jubilee Walled Garden containing plants of horticultural importance and two central borders of plants for propagation and cutting.

A glasshouse with spring bulbs followed by old-fashioned Pelargoniums and later, Nerines to end the season. Winter Gardens, Courtyards both shady and sunny and glasshouses tucked here and there to titillate and beguile gardeners and garden lovers alike. Wild Flower Meadows and shelter for wildlife both large, (human) and small (non-human) abound, let the garden wrap itself around you with joy and love.
