The Walled Garden Baumber is an innovative and exciting garden, full of hidden surprises and vastly different from the traditional kitchen garden that it once was.

It is owned by designer and photographer, Sonia and David Elton, who live in the former head gardeners cottage, with their family.      

The Elton's took on the project in 2006 when the house and gardens were derelict.

 

 

In 2016 the family decided to open the gates to the public on Friday afternoons to see if anyone wanted to come and have a look. They were overwhelmed by the amount of visitors and the positive comments that were made. By May 2017 the former potting shed had become a lovely tea room, a plant sales area was developed and a series of courses and events were added to the calendar.

 

                                 Groups were welcomed to the garden, all of whom enjoyed a guided tour with home made refreshments.  

 

                      The Garden re- opens for the 2018 season on Sunday 29th April 11am to 4pm.  

 

                         In 2018 free admission will continue, the tearoom menu is set to expand along with the courses available and events.

 

                                       The garden will also be available for private hire for weddings, birthdays or other celebrations.
