From berries and edible flowers, to pumpkins and grains, you’ll find something to delight you all year round in the Kitchen Garden! A walled haven with a 350-year history, this is a thriving, productive space, where local community groups meet, garden, get creative and feel at ease. It’s also where we grow a broad range of produce for sale and for donation to local food charities.

You can find peace and inspiration here, find out more about how food gets from the ground to our plates, and see our gardeners at work.

With diverse seasonal planting, new plants blooming and harvesting taking place at least nine months of the year, no week is ever the same in the Kitchen Garden. We are constantly evolving to adapt to our community’s needs and responding to the impact of climate change. By investing in the future of this 17th century space, we will ensure it remains a useful, welcoming, sustainable and beautiful place to visit for generations to come.

Entry to the Kitchen Garden is free. Opening hours are Thursday –  Sunday, 10:30am – 3:30pm.
