The 4 acre walled garden is a showpiece of seasonal colour and interest.
The glasshouses date from the 1850’s and the Victorian tradition of growing tender plants and fruits continues today. A Tapestry garden has been created with a mix of meandering paths, hidden corners and other features to explore.
Relocated to the West of the Castle in 1857, the Walled Gardens historically grew fruit and vegetables for the Castle Kitchen and to provide flowers for the Castle. This tradition lives on today, but the gardens seasonal produce is now enjoyed by a much wider audience. Our chefs use as much of the fantastic produce from the Estate as possible, including fruit, herbs & vegetables freshly picked from the garden and they are served across the Estate in our two Cafes, where the menu’s change with the seasons.
In 2016 the Tapestry Garden was created. Renowned garden designer Angel Collins designed a less formal garden as a counterpoint to the herbaceous borders surrounding the paths. With meandering paths and grassy spaces, it is an ideal place to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
The glasshouses include the original 1857 vinery range that showcase grapes, figs and peaches cultivated and maintained via traditional horticultural methods alongside tropical plants and tomatoes grown to create a tunnel of fruit!
The herbaceous borders at Floors Castle are some of the finest in the whole of the UK. From the regal silver and blue border through the fiery reds of the hot border, they simply take your breath away.
In 2023, a neglected corner of the garden was developed to reflect the Victorian’s passion for ferns and stumperies. The Shady Garden is a quiet place to sit and listen to the soothing sound of the nearby fountain whilst being immersed in a sea of ferns and shade loving plants.
