On specific Tuesdays through April to October you can visit Tom and Sue Stuart-Smith's Plant Library and Barn Garden between 10.00am–1.00pm.
Money raised from ticket sales will go directly to The Serge Hill Project for Gardening Creativity and Health, which is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, bringing schools, community groups, mental health groups and those in need into contact with nature.
Please note - this is a 2 garden visit only. On 6, 20 May 3, 17 June and 1 July only you can do a 3 garden visit when an additional neighbouring garden, Serge Hill opens.
Visitor Information
The gardens are open from 10am-1pm, and it usually takes around two hours to walk around The Barn Garden and The Plant Library. Please note that it is possible to pre-book tea, coffee and cake to enjoy during your visit.
Parking onsite is limited so please car-share or come by public transport wherever possible.
Please note this is a no smoking and no vaping site.
Accessibility
Accessible parking for those who require it is available directly outside The Apple House. There is step-free access to the building and all areas. However, there are many potential trip hazards and uneven surfaces that may be encountered whilst visiting the gardens, along with gravel paths that aren’t suitable for walking frames with wheels. The gardens are extensive so there’s a lot of ground to cover. Please be aware that due to the ongoing building works around the Orchard, there may be additional hazards to look out for.
