The gardens of East Lambrook were created by Margery Fish between 1938 to 1969. During this period she dedicated her time to creating what we think of as the quintessential English Cottage Garden.
We can now enjoy wandering through these wonderful gardens, admiring the wide borders brimming with a mix of old fashioned and contemporary plants.
East Lambrook is renowned for its specialist collections of hellebores, snowdrops and hardy geraniums.
These peaceful and beautiful gardens are really worth a visit.
