Extensive UK gardening website based around a real garden open to the public. Includes practical gardening advice, details of the history, restoration, design and plantings of this amazing North Devon garden open daily to the public from April 05 - October 31.
Winsford Walled Garden was a forgotten ruin until its rediscovery in 1999. This harmonious summer garden flows well beyond the original Victorian walls in a blaze of colour. The original walled garden with its 14ft high walls was, and always has been, a summer flower garden. A discovery that was only confirmed three years after the present owners had already decided to veer away from the ubiquitous walled vegetable garden to create a walled flower garden.
Visit the garden for a few hours, or make use of our central location in Devon close to the South West's main road artery (A30) to stay longer as a guest in our Garden Bed & Breakfast accommodation within the walls. Whichever you decide, you can be sure of a warm welcome from Aileen, Michael and Tanya.
The gardens were featured in DevonLife magazine for three consecutive issues between March 2003 and May, 2003 inclusive and also during June, 2007. During the garden's formative years it was featured on ITV's 'Gardener's Tales' narrated by Jenny Agutter.
The gardens are open under the National Gardens Scheme on the following Sundays 15 June, 20 July, 10 August and 14 Sept.(9-5).
