What's in Bloom? Summer in the Gardens
Radiant Roses
The Rose Garden, first laid out in 1913 for Lady Anna Egerton, impresses with its many beautiful varieties such as 'Rosa Albertine', 'Generous Gardener' and 'New Dawn'.
Fruit of the Marguerite Marillat pear trees peep out around the perimeter of the orchard, ripening slowly in the summer sun.
Spot the bursts of colour from the Hydrangea Macrophylla 'Ankong Blue' along the White Walk.
Lovely Lavender fills the border of the Italian Garden, adding a pop of purple to the Mansion view.
Summer highlights in the gardens
Soak up the sun around the Golden Brook, the garden's main body of water, where the magnificent gunnera now towers over the banks.
Find a shady spot as you wind through the bushy beech hedges of the maze following the path to find the Green Man. This centrepiece was created from the trunk of a dead Cedar by local artist, Tim Burgess, in 2008.
Stroll within the walls of the Kitchen Garden that bursts with new life, growing steadily for the harvest season to come.
Take a break in the conservatory's tropical paradise and watch this space for updates on a new display coming soon...
Video footage to bring you closer to the Gardens
Here are a few one-minute-long ambient videos, filmed in the Gardens last summer. If you are unable to visit Tatton Park at the moment, we hope you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, captured in these short films and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
- A one-minute video showing a view across the Dipping Pond, with ferns and leaves wafting in the breeze, a fountain and backdrop of birdsong
- A one-minute video showing spring colour in the Japanese Garden, looking across to the Tea House
- A one-minute video looking across to the Shinto Shrine and Almond Eye Bridge in the Japanese Garden, and a Coot nesting on the water
Our Head Gardener has also taken additional video footage during one of his working days in the Garden. Join him and step inside our world-renowned Japanese Garden.
