Capel Manor Gardens

Capel Manor Gardens and estate provide a colourful and scented oasis surrounding a Georgian Manor House and Victorian Stables. It offers a unique opportunity to see behind the scenes at Greater London's only specialist College of Horticulture, Floristry, Garden Design, Tree Surgery (Arboriculture)Animal Care and Countryside Studies.

The attractions include 30 acres of richly planted themed gardens including Historical Gardens, Italianate Maze, Japanese Garden and many others. There is a sensory garden and gardens designed especially for wheelchair users.

Two new additions to the gardens are former Chelsea Flower Show medal winners. Le Jardin de Vincent, sponsored by Three Valleys Water, Aylett Nurseries Ltd and CED was inspired by the paintings of Vincent van Gogh and takes us back in time when gardens were simple, natural and survived with just sunshine and rain. The Growing Together in Faith garden, sponsored by the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association and the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, considers how the perfect garden is central to many faiths. In fact, there are more links between plants, gardening and different faith traditions than many people realise.

With a variety of shows and events planned for 2008 there's more to discover at Capel Manor. Visit Capel Manor Gardens web site for more information.
