Bourton House Garden

Here's a delightful Cotswold garden that has only recently become open to the public on a regular basis. Bourton House Garden covers 3 acres. The setting is lovely, and the garden itself does not disappoint. There are a multitude of container plantings, in containers ranging from the ubiquitous terracotta to stone troughs and lead cisterns.

Carefully arranged topiary shrubs stand sentry beside golden stone walls and help outline the garden rooms. Features to look for include a knot garden, potager, coloured borders, and a shade house. A fountain helps create an air of calm. The 18th century manor house is not open to the public, but the 16th century tithe barn can be visited.

A new 7 acre planting of trees promises to provide more interest to this evolving garden over the coming years.
