A long-planned winter garden open morning! Come and wander in our winter garden on Saturday 10 January between 11am and 1pm. In the winter, the garden really reveals its form and structure, and there’s still plenty of planting interest too. Entrance to the garden costs £6, which you can pay in advance by visiting www.garden4good.co.uk, or you can pay on the day. We’ll have home-made cake for sale (guaranteed to bolster you against the cold), and we invite you to bring along a hot drink in a thermal mug or flask. All proceeds from the pop up opening will be donated to the National Garden Scheme. Opens Saturday 10th January.

Opens Sunday 8th February.
The Gardens at Hooton Pagnell Hall have a vast history, they have been continuously evolving since the estate was purchased by the Warde Family in the 1700’s.

Among the highlights are fragrant rose beds, mature fruit trees, and a striking wisteria. These features sit alongside lawns, historic stonework, and garden structures that reflect the estate’s development. Opens Thursday 14th May.
