Don’t take our word for how varied these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Barnsdale Gardens had to say:
“We’re delighted by the variety, each miniature garden has something to offer in its planting, design and construction.
A great place to come for inspiration with your own home garden project.
Staff friendly & knowledgeable. Be sure to stop by their nursery and cafe!”
“So much to see, really need the whole day to do it justice. Well laid out and suitable adjustments made in light of safe distancing etc.
But all very easy to follow and people respectful.
Many many different styles of gardens to wander round.
Great tea rooms, well priced meals, big portions. Well stocked nursery.“
