The Organic Cotswolds: Garden & Farm Experience

Step into the heart of a private Cotswold estate, a true hidden gem in the Cotswolds, where a private garden cultivated over 40 years comes to life. This exclusive garden tour offers an intimate glimpse into a space shaped by passion, creativity, and a deep love for nature. Unlike traditional formal gardens, this is a personal and evolving landscape, a testament to years of careful design and stewardship. Guests will be guided through a tapestry of vibrant flower beds, ancient trees, and thoughtfully designed spaces, while learning about the history, inspiration, and stories behind each corner. Featured in Country Life and The English Garden, this private sanctuary is a dream for garden lovers, offering both tranquility and inspiration.

Beyond the garden, the surrounding organic Cotswold farmland tells its own rich story. The owner, an expert on local history, will share fascinating insights into the estate’s ancient ridge and furrow fields, historic threshing barn, and development of the farm. Wander through 35 acres of wildflower meadows, where from April onwards, the land transforms into a breathtaking display of native wildflowers—from cowslips and orchids to ox-eye daisies and knapweed. For those interested in sustainable farming, there's an opportunity to visit the apiary, don protective gear, and observe the bees at work, or even collect fresh eggs from the free-ranging heritage breed chickens. With the sights, sounds, and scents of nature all around.

To round off the day, you may wish to extend your journey with a visit to other iconic Cotswold gardens, exploring charming market towns like Burford, or delving into the region’s rich heritage at Cotswold Woollen Weavers. Whether it’s strolling through historic villages, discovering more lush gardens, or uncovering the craftsmanship that made the Cotswolds famous, this experience offers a perfect balance of horticulture, history, and rural charm.
