The Story of Gardening

Concealed within ancient woodland, The Story of Gardening transports you to gardens from around the world and throughout time - exploring the human impulse to shape beauty from the ground at our feet.

An immersive experience concealed within our woodland. Head to the Deer Park then weave along The Viper, an exhilarating treetop walkway, before arriving at The Story of Gardening.

Discover horticultural history through multi-sensory Garden Rooms and visit the world’s most famous gardens in Virtual Reality pods, admiring the abundant fruit trees of Babylonstoren or gazing into the lily ponds at Monet’s Giverny. Get hands on with soil, scents, botany and design through interactive games and exhibits.

The Story of Gardening café serves teas and cakes following the journey of the Garden Rooms, taking inspiration from international gardens and gastronomies. Tables are allocated on a walk-in basis.

Entry is included in your Garden Membership.
