Show your love, donate and make a difference

We are a much-loved, perfectly formed 18th century Palladian villa nestled in 65 acres of multiple award-winning gardens – the birthplace of the natural English garden. We welcome hundreds of visitors each day, even more now during the Covid-19 pandemic, to enjoy their daily exercise in our beautiful green sanctuary.

We have remained open for everyone, every day and continue with essential maintenance caring for our gardens, lake and trees, home to our native wildlife, insects and visiting migratory birds.

Every day we are carrying out our daily checks and maintenance of the House and buildings in the grounds, ready for when we can re-open.

Why now?

We are committed to retaining our gardening and grounds team so that we can carry out essential maintenance and gardening of our grounds, buildings and House all year round.

Only 25% of our income comes from grants guaranteed by London Borough of Hounslow and English Heritage. Each year we earn £750,000 from our café, weddings and events which supports our running costs.

With the loss of this income we are carefully managing our costs but, despite these efforts, we still have a shortfall going forward.

We need your help to make-up this shortfall. Just a few pounds can make a difference but

• £30 could look after our beautiful heritage camellias today
• £50 could water our extensive Gardens today
• £120 could maintain our stunning Italian Gardens for a day
