About the Garden

Originally designed by renowned landscaper Jenny Anderson, the garden has evolved with input from Shirley Wallington, and more recently by the owner Patricia Taylor, whose inspiration comes from British gardening legend Monty Don.

Described as a “Tardis of a garden”, Burkleigh House surprises visitors with new and engaging landscapes at every turn, from a fragrant rose arbour to a flourishing vegetable garden. Every corner reveals Patricia’s creativity, care, and love of gardening.
