Come and explore the Classic Gardens of Somerset. You will find an impressive collection of styles and character, from gardens that have been newly made to those that have evolved over centuries. There are cottage gardens and kitchen gardens; woodland walks and parkland; botanical hothouses and architectural features that include a viaduct and England’s highest powered fountain! Be inspired by the gardens and enjoy browsing the plant nurseries and garden shops and eating luscious lunches and teas in the cafes.

Set in the heart of England’s west-country, there’s plenty more to see and do too. Somerset’s unspoilt countryside is perfect for walking and cycling. The picturesque villages and market towns offer interesting shops, lively street-markets and excellent eating-places. In the summer, enjoy flower shows, music festivals and outdoor theatre. In the winter, carnivals and Christmas fairs.

Discover a garden that you can’t see every day and help a good cause too. The NGS promotes the opening of private gardens to the public for one-off days or special events, with the proceeds going to charities. NGS Somerset raised £64,000 for charities last year and helped the public see some wonderful gardens.
