The beautiful gardens of Bourton House with the house in the background.

Bourton House Gardens

In 1983 the new owners, Richard and Monique Paice set about designing and building the perfect garden, from a neglected wilderness.

With the then Head Gardener, Paul Williams, they introduced imaginative topiary, created water features from natural springs, planted exotics, and wide herbaceous borders.

New owners took over in 2010 and continue to develop the garden, adding more interesting and unusual planting displays and combinations.

Notable garden elements include a topiary walk, magical white garden, colourful and vibrant borders, a shade house, imaginatively planted containers and an arboretum of seven acres planted in 1995 which is maturing nicely.

Cotswold Garden Tours cordially invite you to walk around this magnificent garden, enjoy a delicious buffet and chat to the personable Head Gardener Jacky Rae.
