The gardens lie in a sheltered valley on the edge of the Delamere Forest. In this tranquil spot amid low hills and mature trees can be found a wealth of planted areas, meandering streams and a constantly flowing, spring-fed fountain.

The gardens are also a haven for wildlife, including the kingfisher, unusual butterflies as well as many species of water birds.

Developed around the pools, the gardens are approached by crossing two bridges, which lead to and from a wooded island. There are many poolside and moisture loving plants. 

Entry to the plant fair is free

Entry to the garden is optional and at standard entry fees (children free).
