Crosswater Gardens

The woodland garden at Crosswater Farm was developed by Ted and Romy Millais soon after they bought the derelict farm in 1946. Now the 4 acre woodland garden contains a collection of more than 1000 different rhododendrons, including rare species collected by Ted and Romy in the Himalayas. Our woodland garden is open for charity in early May in aid of National Gardens Scheme . Please refer to National Gardens Scheme (NGS) website for dates and prices. Since 1991 we have raised more than £30,000 for charities including Macmillan Cancer Support.

Our trials garden next to the Plant Centre is open throughout the year, and contains hundreds of new and rare varieties that we grow up to about 1 metre high before selling as specimen sized plants. All plants are labelled so you can note which ones you like. Some will be available from our plant centre, some will be available in a year or so, and some will go on the next bonfire. (well it is a trials garden!)
