Gardens Throughout Time
The Story of Gardening reflects our deep-rooted passion for horticulture, celebrating the craft, creativity and history that shape the gardens we nurture today. Interactive exhibits, multi-sensory garden rooms and virtual reality pods transport visitors of all ages through global gardening traditions – and the world’s most famous gardens – which inspire our own Somerset landscapes.
Set within ancient woodland, this family-friendly exhibit invites you to explore the human connection to nature; seen through the lens of our life-long love of gardening.
Eat The Garden
The Story of Gardening café offers a comforting menu of light bites, from seasonal soups and sandwiches to savouries and wholesome snacks.
Afternoon visitors can enjoy indulgent pick-me-ups such as scones, pastries, cakes and Bakery specialities – perfect for complementing a moment of peaceful pause in the woodland.
No booking needed. Simply follow The Viper treetop walkway or make a pitstop on your way to or from the Roman Villa.
