About Waltham Abbey Gardens
Visits are welcome ‘by arrangement’ from May to Sept for groups of 10-20 visitors including refreshments with homemade cakes. If required we are able to discuss providing a more special afternoon tea event.
Waltham Abbey Gardens
Come and visit our four gardens in the historic town of Waltham Abbey. Silver Birches, Quendon Drive has three lawns surrounded by mixed borders with mature shrubs and trees. The pond is home to much wildlife. Take a short stroll in the hidden woodland walk before enjoying tea and home-made cake. At 76 Monkswood Avenue, there are mixed borders, a greenhouse and wildlife pond. You may also be tempted to purchase one of the many Victorian chimney pots which add another dimension for displaying plants in the garden and are available for purchase in the wildlife friendly front garden. At 34 Monkswood Avenue you will be greeted by a very pretty front garden, the lawn surrounded by colourful planting, make your way through to the garden at the rear and enjoy the bee friendly planting and shrubs here. The fourth garden, The Chimes, a Grade II listed house (not open) built in 1537 has brick-edged raised borders around a gravel area and planted with perennials and shrubs.
