What's in Bloom
The 50 acres of Gardens at Tatton Park have evolved for over 200 years. Today it is an almost complete picture of how the gardens existed in Edwardian times. Find out more about the different areas of Tatton Park's gardens from the Walled Kitchen Garden, Japanese Garden, Glasshouses and the Arboretum that contains almost 900 interesting and varied plants.
Spring Highlights
As the days lengthen and new life begins to unfurl, we see early Rhododendrons appearing as well as early Cherries and Plum blossom. Plants are budding and ready to burst, from the Tulips and Wallflowers across the Italian Garden to the Cherry blossom of the MT Fuji Cherries of the Japanese Garden. By the end of March we will see Plum and Pear Blossom festooning the Orchard, followed by the masses of Apple White Blossom of over 150 apple trees."
