 Description of Garden
Designer: Monique Paice
An award-winning intensively planted three-acre garden surrounding an 18th century Manor House and Grade I listed 16th century Tithe Barn. The garden features wide herbaceous borders with stunning plant, colour and texture combinations; imaginative topiary including a knot garden, parterre and topiary walk; water features include a raised Basket Pond from the Great Exhibition of 1851; a unique shade house with novel shade-loving plants and many creatively planted pots. The unusual, rare and exotic make this garden a plantsman's delight. Beautiful to visit in any season, Bourton House Garden also presents a magnificent late summer flourish when many gardens have run their course. HHA/Christie's 'Garden of the Year' 2006.

NEW 2013: Pasture walk opposite the garden, following a guide by Head Gardener Paul Nicholls. This gives the opportunity to view many specimen trees planted in 1994-1995, such as Himalayan Birch (Betula utilis jacquemontii), Ornamental Pear (Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer'), Katsura tree (Cecidphyllum japonicum) and Japanese Cherry (Prunus 'Shirotae') to mention just a few examples amongst many.
 History of Garden
The garden was created over a 20 year time frame by the former owners, Mr & Mrs R Paice and a great gardening team originally led by Paul Williams, followed in 1999 by current Head Gardener Paul Nicholls. Under new ownership in 2010, it continues to evolve and develop in the care of long-serving Head Gardener Paul Nicholls and his assistants Jacky Rae and Gareth Griffiths.
