Mamma and the family simply LOVE this garden! Anytime of year this place blows us away. From the glow of autumn when the nursery is blanketed in reds, to the blossoms of spring - nothing beats the beauty at Alowyn Gardens. It’s the back drop to all of our favourite family photos!

Mamma also wouldn't blame you for thinking you had stepped into Alice and Wonderland and expect to see some dancing cards come around the corner. The wisteria canopy at Alowyn Gardens is the main walkway between the 5 different zones. Visit in October to witness the archway in its full bloom glory or in the dead of winter where you can see right through.

The kids will love hiding, running and exploring all the different pathways from the kitchen garden, to the circle of poles, the flower fields and the birch forest. There is a new pumpkin patch and a labyrinth garden that makes a great running track, especially as there is only one way in and one way out! If they are up for it, they might even teach themselves how to play chess while Mamma has a coffee - or at least they will give the Knights a pat.

Mamma's special mention: Alowyn Gardens is also a retail nursery. If you like something on your walk through the garden, you might just be able to purchase your own on the way home.
