About the garden

This garden was renovated in 2012 by Adrian Bloom from Bressingham Gardens for the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Many of the existing beds were extended, re-shaped and re-planted by Mr Bloom and the in-house gardening team. Mr Bloom designed the newly imagined garden and supplied the plants for it.

In the garden you can find what is considered one of, if not the best Geraniums on the market, Geranium ‘Rozanne’. After appearing as a chance hybrid seedling in their garden, it was taken to Mr Bloom by Donald and Rozanne Waterer, and he identified it as a new hybrid. It was first seen at the Chelsea Flower Show in the year 2000 and was awarded the RHS plant of the centenary at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2013.
