Head Gardener's Comment

Visit us on our Snowdrop Days when we have carpets of snowdrops all round the garden providing a fantastic display alongside early daffodils and snowflakes in what is a wonderfully natural setting. Come and discover Evenley Wood for yourself as the flowering season begins. Refreshments and toilet facilities available. Dogs welcome on leads.

SNOWDROP DAYS - SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 11th/12th & 18th/19th FEBRUARY 2012!

11am-5pm, Adults £5, Child £1.

History

Set amongst the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, this 60 acre, private woodland garden has been planted over the last 28 years in the natural setting of an existing woodland. The garden offers a huge variety of plants ranging from trees and shrubs, including notable collections of oak, apple, pear and euonymus, to a wide selection of bulbs, including many varieties of snowdrops, scillas, daffodils and an extensive collection of lilies.

The garden’s unlikely band of acid soil, in this predominantly alkaline area, also provides the opportunity to cultivate plants such as Rhododendrons, Camellias and Magnolias, which would not ordinarily thrive in this location.

We welcome all visitors on our open days, from the layman to the expert and try to ensure that the collection is fully labeled.

    5th June 2011 - my partner, Andy and I have just come home from a lovely visit to Evenley Wood Garden. The wood garden is a stunning, magical and peaceful haven with a unique atmosphere, created by our hosts, and into which we were welcomed so openly and warmly;– Evenley Wood Garden is a real treasure in Northamptonshire’s crown.

    We will visit again

    This place is a veritable treasure trove of choice trees and bulbs especially Lilies. I have just visited and the later flowering varieties of Magnolias were showing well, not to mention Halesias, Enthianthus, Acers, the list is endless, deciduous Azaleas many of which were fragrant.
    This is a noteworthy collection of trees, in a beautiful and relaxed setting, that must be one the best in the country.
