Barnsdale Gardens Specacular Gardens all year

Join us for a delightful visit to Barnsdale Gardens, nestled in the peaceful countryside near Uppingham, Oakham and Melton Mowbray in the county of Rutland. Barnsdale is all about gardening made simple, joyful and achievable – proving that every plant can thrive when placed in the spot that suits it best. 

With 38 individually designed gardens to explore, each space showcases practical ideas to take back to your own garden. 

Highlights include: 

• The Artisan’s Cottage Garden - Celebrates the timeless cottage style, rich with colour, texture and character. It’s a perfect example of plants being allowed to do their own thing – and the results are wonderfully natural. 

• The Formal Pool & Knot Garden - A striking space centred around a serene water feature with four elegant bronze fountains. This garden proves that a ‘less is more’ approach can be truly spectacular. 

• The Modern Estate Garden - Designed to reflect the size and needs of a typical family garden, this area shows what can be achieved in a smaller space. With a patio, lawn, borders, scree garden and pergola, it’s packed with clever ideas for busy gardeners. 

Barnsdale Gardens is a place full of colour, creativity and inspiration – a wonderful day out for garden lovers, design enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys a peaceful walk through beautifully crafted outdoor spaces.
