Bourton House Garden

Bourton House is a modern medium-sized but truly opulent garden created around a glorious 18th century Manor house and a Grade 1 listed 16th century Tithe Barn, and is maintained very crisply indeed. The garden was originally planted in the 1960s by Lanning Roper. Most of the garden is formal, delineated by walls, banks and hedges and features wide herbaceous borders with stunning plant, texture and colour combinations; imaginative topiary including knot garden, parterre and topiary walk and water features including a raised basket pond. There is also a small potager; a unique shade house with novel shade-loving plants and many creatively planted pots. Beautiful to visit in any season, Bourton House Garden also presents a magnificent late summer flourish when many gardens have run their course. The unusual, rare and exotic make this garden a plantsman’s delight! HHA/Christie's Garden of the Year 2006.
