Seven miles from the heart of historic Oxford lies Waterperry Gardens, 8 acres of beautiful ornamental gardens with a fascinating history. Established as a School of Horticulture for Ladies by Beatrix Havergal in 1932, it is now home to a plant centre and garden shop, art & craft gallery, gift barn, museum and teashop. You can also visit Waterperry's Saxon Church on the estate and Waterperry House conducts tours of their stunning contemporary frescoes each Wednesday and Friday.

Lose yourself in the wonderful gardens featuring a 200 foot long herbaceous border, formal knot and rose garden, colour and contemporary borders, a waterlily canal, riverside walk and herbaceous nursery stock beds. The Georgian Walled Garden at Waterperry has undergone exciting re-development and now includes a cutting garden, vegetable beds and orchard, in addition to a viewing tower which allows visitors to peek over the walls and view the ornamental gardens beyond.

Waterperry offers a full programme of year-round events, from horticulturally themed weekends and talks by garden experts to theatre and concert productions held in a stunning out-door Amphitheatre.
