Easton Walled Gardens

General information

Welcome to Easton Walled Gardens

Easton Walled Gardens is one of the finest walled gardens in the UK.

Set in the heart of middle England’s beautiful countryside, the 400-year-old gardens are brimming with bulbs and flowers.

Once the site of an extravagant stately home, the landscape owes a lot to the Tudor and Jacobean period, with the gardens cascading down terraces from the site of the old house.

And with the River Witham flowing through the estate, as well as a beautiful valley surrounding the ancient walls, it is easy to see why Easton Walled Gardens holds a firm place as one of the UK’s hidden gems.

Famed for snowdrops and sweet peas, Easton Walled Gardens hosts a number of specialist showcases and experiences throughout the year. This year, between 16-24 February (11am – 4pm daily), visitors will be able to see thousands of naturalised Snowdrops and Aconites decorating the gardens, woodlands and terraces, including Galanthus nivalis and Galanthus Flore Pleno, which literally means 'with full flower'.

Speaking about the upcoming Snowdrop week, Lady Ursula Cholmeley, owner of Easton Walled Gardens, comments: “As the harsh winter winds give way to spectacular colours and scents of spring, a picturesque white carpet rolls out across the gardens, with thousands of delicate snowdrops emerging from their thawing surroundings.

“With ice white bells trembling in the breeze, February is transformed into a winter wonderland. When you take a walk around the gardens in Snowdrop Week, you can really appreciate why President Franklin Roosevelt described the gardens as ‘almost too good to be true’ when he visited Easton.”
