What's in Bloom? Autumn in the Gardens
Stunning Colours
The Japanese Garden's tranquil beauty bursts into rich colour every Autumn. A real stand-out is the Euonymus Alatus or 'Burning Bush' with its vibrant red leaves, the perfect compliment to the carefully tended carpets of moss in striking shades of green.
Within the newly refurbished Italian Garden, where once you would have found Chamaecyparis trees, you can now see Thuja ‘Brabant’s which are a much hardier, more climate resistant plant than their predecessor. During Autumn, the ‘Brabant’s evergreen foliage takes on a bronzed hue.
Autumn highlights in the gardens
Celebrate the harvest in the Orchard and Kitchen Garden where you'll find delicious apples, seasonal root vegetables, and a delightful display of pumpkins in all shapes, sizes and colours. Look out for 'knuckleheads', 'harlequins', and 'crown princes'.
Look out for sunflowers and dahlias basking in the Autumn sunshine.
Stroll down the Broad Walk as it transforms from deep green to warm coppery orange, the Metasequoia Glyptostroboides or 'Dawn Redwood' trees are truly spectacular.
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.
