Join Bowood’s Head Gardener for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience in the gardens before they open to the public 🌿On selected dates throughout the season, you will be greeted by David Glass, Head Gardener, for a 90-minute guided tour of the Terrace Garden and Walled Garden. David will share insights into the history, design and seasonal care of these living spaces, offering a deeper understanding of how he and his team nurtures the gardens through the year 🌱
As part of your visit, you will receive a 10% discount card to use at the Treehouse Café and The Stables (weekends and school holidays), so you can enjoy refreshments or a light lunch afterwards ☕️
Please note the tour involves walking on gravel paths and limited seating, with steps in places. Places are limited to 15 per tour and must be booked in advance.
After the tour, continue your day at your own pace with self-guided access to Bowood House, Gardens and Pleasure Grounds, including highlights such as the Arboretum, Cascade, Doric Temple and Hermits Cave 🌸
Discover the gardens in a way few visitors do. Book your place and step behind the scenes with our Head Gardener.
