Reviews of East Lambrook Manor Garden

I have been familiar with this garden since I was a child when Marjorie Fish was still alive and I have witnessed it at various stages of decline and renewal in the last 40 years .It is at present undergoing another phase of rejuvunation and renewal . Always a place that draws us back time and time again. The garden is well worth visiting at any time of the year.In late winter snow drops are plentiful and many winter flowering shrubs.In summer many herbaceous plants in the informal cottage garden. The gardens surround a fine old Somerset manor house constructed in honey coloured Ham Stone. This garden is also very close to Montecute house, Tintinhul Manor, and Barrington Court which all have notable gardens to visit.

The visit was made in July and the garden was valiantly surviving the effects of drought. Whilst the garden has a pleasant layout with some interesting trees,shrubs and spaces, the herbaceous plantings were evidently needing considerable maintenance, five worthies were busy tidying.
I enjoyed finding many unusual as well as common plants but found a hotch potch planting style made for 'busy' beds.

As the previous reviewer has indicated..charming staff.
