Gardenvisit Editorial

A small re-created seventeenth century knot garden in a former churchyard. It commemorates two famous gardeners whose tomb is also there. John Tradescant and his son were gardners to Charles I and II - and were adventurous plant hunters. The garden adjoins the Museum of Garden History.

    No car parking is available on the Museum site. Tours would have to be by special arrangement.
