Horatio's Garden South West Private Tour

An opportunity to visit Horatio’s Garden South West for a private tour. Every Horatio’s Garden is created by a leading designer and rarely open to the public. This tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the restorative garden and learn more about its key design features and style, the benefits of horticultural therapy and the impact of gardens on wellbeing.

Horatio’s Garden South West was designed by Cleve West, seven-time RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal winner. Cleve has been designing award-winning gardens since 1990. From contemporary urban spaces to large country estates, he creates spaces that are both engaging and restful.

Horatio's Garden South West includes unique design features, like the apple archway of successional English varieties espaliered for easy picking from a wheelchair, with a long rill flowing alongside so the sound of water drifts across the garden.
