Overview

Gardener in a high-profile private garden

Morton Hall Gardens were created in 2008, combining 19th-century style dramatic garden rooms with 18th-century style open landscapes. The gardens encircle a Grade II listed late Georgian manor house on top of the Arden Sandstone Escarpment, offering stunning views across the Vale of Evesham.

Morton Hall Gardens's garden features:

  • Beautiful fritillary meadows.
  • Sumptuous formal borders with artfully orchestrated colour schemes.
  • Serene woodland gardens.
  • Stunning fiery foliage in the Japanese-inspired Stroll Garden.

The gardens are open for groups by appointment to raise funds for charities and host selected Open Days, including a three-day tulip festival in early May in conjunction with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Bloms Bulbs. Morton Hall Gardens has a strong public presence both in printed articles and on social media.

Morton Hall Gardens provide excellent facilities that enable Morton Hall Gardens's staff to achieve the highest standards of horticulture and presentation.
