About Kingham Lodge

The 6 acres of gardens have been planted over the past two decades and, unusually for the Cotswolds, are situated on sand over gravel so a number of ericaceous plants not normally seen in the Cotswolds grow here.

The year starts with aconites flowering under trees, in February there are thousands of snowdrops giving way to anemones, and species tulips and then daffodils, tulips, erythroniums and many other later bulbs and irises. From January to July there is a rhododendron in bloom although the big displays are in May, including the laburnum arch along with the azaleas.

Highlights include a formal 150 metre border, backed with trellis, shaded walk ways with multi-layered planting, an informal quarry pond and formal mirror pond, a massive pergola and parterre and the unique Islamic garden. From 16-26 May 2025 there is a sculpture show with over 500 sculptures to be seen. Pop-up café during the sculpture show.

Sculpture show covered by the BBC each year as well as local press articles. See website for details www.sculptureatkinghamlodge.com
