The Barnsdale Gardens familiar to millions of BBC2 viewers as the home of Geoff Hamilton and Gardeners' World is open every day.

The gardens comprise 37 individual gardens and features that all blend together by linking borders into one 8 acre garden. There is not only a wealth of different plants to come and see in many different combinations but also many practical ideas for any garden.

On average most people spend about 3 hours in the gardens before venturing over to our gift shop and plant nursery where we stock a wide range of choice and unusual plants, many initially propagated from the gardens.

So allow plenty of time to take it all in and then relax in our friendly coffee shop which serves an appetizing range of hot and cold food and drinks.
