A sixteenth century cottage with a twentieth century heathland and woodland garden, in the New Forest, concentrating on flowering shrubs and bulbs. It was made by Hugh Dalrymple.

Set in the heart of the New Forest at Minstead these delightful Gardens were established in 1922 and are renowned for their all year round beauty.

    My husband and i visited Furzey Gardens for the first time last week March 30th and we were amazed as to how beautiful the gardens were, we had a nice pot of tea and some scones and fresh cream in the nice friendly cafe, the staff were so helpful.

    We are from London but we were staying in the Prioy Hotel in Wareham for a few days. We just drove up for the day to see some of the Forest and Gardens we took a long walk and we did manage to see a deer and some robins which was a real delight. It's really nice to see the wild horses still surviving in the forest.
    We took many photos and we will share these with our friends and hopefully we can persuade them to visit. We will be back as we loved it very much.

    I absolutely love Furzey Gardens. My family and I have annual membership and go whenever we can. they are beautiful and there's always something new to find. My daughters especially love the play area and all of the fairy houses.

    I'm particularly excited that Furzey Gardens is going to host some creative writing classes starting in October 2010.
