Overview
Barnsdale Gardens was created in the early 1980s by Gardeners’ World presenter and organic pioneer Geoff Hamilton. Now run by his son, the eight-acre site includes Britain’s largest collection of individually designed gardens – 38 of them, from The Woodland Walk to the Fruit Orchard – as well as an award-winning nursery and tea room.
