There is to come, with a packed events programme planned for the whole year at the gorgeous gardens just outside Great Torrington.
A highlight is the arrival of the much-loved characters from the children’s classic Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram, in a special garden trail which will run throughout 2025.
Young visitors will be able to enjoy this playful, interactive trail which re-enacts some of the adventures of the iconic Little Nutbrown Hare, while exploring the many colours, textures and shapes found in nature. A programme of seasonal activities is also planned to accompany the trail through the year.
The full events schedule truly has something for everyone, featuring crafts, classic cars, cooking, and art – see full listings below:
