Current highlights Spring Summer

Autumn

Over the past 30 years, the 5 acre gardens and nursery at Broadleigh Gardens have become well established and are a major attraction to our visiting customers. They are open throughout the year, Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm for a £2 charity donation. Please note that Broadleigh Gardens is a mail order nursery with only a limited range of  items for sale for calling customers. Orders in season can be collected in the usual way, provided notice is given.

In this section, we show a few pictures of the gardens through the seasons as an appetizer. Please click on the images to look at the larger pictures behind. We hope you enjoy your visit.
