Visit to Myddelton House Garden

Myddelton House Gardens were once home to Edward Augustus Bowles (1865-1954), one of Britain’s most famous self-taught gardeners, artists and expert botanists. The eight acre grounds play host to a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers as well as an extensive heritage kitchen garden and cut flower beds. The beautiful reconstructed Victorian Glasshouse contains four climatic zones housing exotic plants from around the world ranging from cacti which thrive on dry arid conditions to air plants which obtain all of their nutrients from water vapour in the air.
