Brockhampton Cottage and The Laskett

Discover an unmissable experience, starting with an exclusive tour of Brockhampton Cottage, led by owner Peter Clay, co-founder of Crocus, the renowned online retailer. 

Peter will guide us through beautiful wildflower meadows, sharing insights into the garden's creation by Tom Stuart-Smith in 1999 and its evolution. This dazzling hilltop garden boasts a woodland, Perry pear orchard, lake, stream, and arboretum.

Next we travel to the stunning Laskett Gardens, where we will indulge in a delicious private dining experience crafted by a local caterer, accompanied by a glass of fizz. Following which you can tour the garden using the podcatchers and Garden Manager James Madge will be available to answer all your questions. Immerse yourself in the four-acre garden that tells the story of Sir Roy Strong and his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman’s marriage and creative lives through a series of captivating garden rooms. Marvel at the rose garden, pleached lime avenue, fountains, statuary, spectacular topiary, rich herbaceous and prairie-style borders, and the Belvedere offering a breathtaking view across the gardens.

After an afternoon exploring the gardens, tea will be served, completing this unforgettable day.
