East Lambrook Manor Garden: Welcome to East Lambrook Manor Gardens,
the 'Home of English Cottage Gardening'. The garden at East Lambrook Manor is recognised throughout the world as the 'Home of English Cottage Gardening', having been created in the 1940's, 50's and 60's by the late gardening icon, Margery Fish. Mrs Fish entered the world of gardening late in her life and as a novice she showed a quite brilliant talent for artlessly mixing the everyday plants with the rarer species, with an eye for colour, texture and form.
Visitors can enjoy the gardens while also visiting the famous 'Margery Fish Plant Nursery', which remains a place of pilgrimage for keen plant buyers. A specially designed display bed showcases an extensive and nationally recognised collection of hardy geraniums and the garden plays host RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) garden courses and the John Brookes Garden Design School.
In the centre of the gardens, the 17th century Malthouse houses a gift shop and a multi award winning tea shop serving homemade lunches and cakes and an art gallery with a rolling exhibition programme by West Country artists.
Today visitors are able to purchase over 800 different varieties of plants, the majority of which are still propagated by hand here in the gardens.
