Gloucestershire gardens in August

Gloucestershire has a variety of gardens open to visit and explore in August, find out more below…

Tree Hill, Winchcombe

Stepping into this garden is akin to stepping into another world. As one visitor remarked ‘this is unlike any English garden I have ever seen.’ On this small and modest plot one finds huge leaves, tall exotic plants jostling for light with the small and the delicate. Created with a passion for the exotic landscapes of the Caribbean which was inspired by a visit to Barbados. Opens Sunday 24th August.

Trench Hill, Sheepscombe

Approx 3 acres set in a small woodland with panoramic views. Variety of herbaceous and mixed borders, rose garden, tulips, extensive vegetable plots, wildflower areas, plantings of spring bulbs with thousands of snowdrops and hellebores, woodland walk, two small ponds, waterfall and larger conservation pond. Interesting wooden sculptures, many within the garden. Cultivated using organic principles. Opens Sunday 24th August.
