About Bourton House Garden

Magnificent herbaceous borders and terraces filled with rare, unusual and exotic plants in surprising combinations of colour, shape and texture add much excitement.

There is a White Garden planted for interest in every season, water features, a unique Shade House and many creatively planted pots.

The design of the garden incorporates the repeating theme of the 'ogee' arch, in clipped yew panels, metal work and trellis work - all within 3 acres! There is also a mowed walk in the 7 acre pasture opposite the house, taking in groups of specimen trees following a guide written by former Head Gardener, Paul Nicholls.

The magnificent Grade 1 Listed 16th Century tithe barn houses a tearoom, serving light refreshments and homemade cakes, a gift shop selling cards, unusual gifts and vintage collectables. Please note that the cafe and shop are open May to September
