We are thrilled to announce that we will be re-opening the Japanese Garden on 1st August 2020!
It has been nearly 4 months since we closed due to the pandemic and we have been incredibly busy maintaining the garden and tending to all our Bonsai and plants. We are finally able to re-open the garden, shop and nursery areas from the 1st of August by appointment only.
Please click here to Book your visit
It will now be essential to pre-book you and your family in before you visit us. We have created 30 minute time-slots for you to choose when you would like to arrive. The slot you book is your arrival window and once you are here you may stay as long as you like (until 6pm when we close for the day).
We hope you will find the booking system simple and easy to use. Please see our ‘Covid-19 Information‘ page for details.
Changes Visitors Need To Know
From 1st August the Japanese Garden will reopen to the public. The garden is just over 1 acre in size and therefore we will be limiting the number of people who are able to visit us at any one time to maintain social distancing and keep visitors safe. We now require visitors to pre-book prior to their visit to us.
