 Description of Garden
Designer: Margery Fish
The Margery Fish Garden at East Lambrook Manor is a magnet for garden lovers all over the world, particularly those who want to wander its crooked stone paths through the cottage style design with its profusion of colour and scent. This Grade I listed garden is overflowing with plants, many of which were saved from virtual extinction. Mrs. Fish was one of the most admired gardeners and garden writers of her day and since her death, her reputation as one of Britain's leading and most innovative gardeners has increased steadily as her work and books have become more widely known. The garden also houses the National Collection of Geraniums with a specialist plant nursery. During the Summer months, the 17th Century Malthouse becomes a gift shop in which refreshments are served. It also houses an art gallery showing exciting new works from well known West Country artists.
 History of Garden
This was Margery Fish's first major project as a novice gardener; she later became the undisputed, 'Leading Lady of Gardening' from the 1950's and the gardens she created here at East Lambook Manor in Somerset have become internationally famous as the premier example of English cottage gardening. From the publication of her first book in 1956, until her death thirteen years later, she wrote in a practical way of her successes and failures, communicating her deep understanding of plants.
