About
Explore this glorious garden in the North York Moors National Park. A patchwork of small, intimate gardens, planted up with beautiful displays of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Used as one of the locations for the latest film version of The Secret Garden, it is full of colour and corners to explore as well as places to sit and relax. The garden is fully accessible and dogs are welcome on leads.
The ethos of the garden is to create a place where people can tap into the healing power of horticulture, or simply find a quiet place to sit and enjoy a stunning display of flowers throughout the seasons and we provide a range of nature-based activities designed to help individuals.
The Vine House Café provides delicious light snacks and lunches as well as gin cocktails from locally sourced gins. Scones are freshly baked each morning and there is a good selection of homemade cakes which can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or a mug of freshly ground coffee.
The Garden Shop and Plant Centre have a wide range of plants and gifts for sale. Many of the plants are grown here at the garden and the shop specialises in cards, food, drink, art, and household gifts made by Yorkshire artists in Yorkshire.
