These famous gardens created by Margery Fish from 1938 to 1969 are regularly featured by the BBC and are internationally recognized as the ‘Home of English Cottage Gardening’. Margery Fish was the undisputed 'Leading Lady of Gardening' from the 1950s and it was Margery's natural gift in bringing old-fashioned and contemporary plants together that has so dramatically influenced the way we garden today and the mixed borders of the 21st century are a direct descendant of the style she created here at East Lambrook. Today the garden team continue to use old fashioned and contemporary planting and visitors can still gain invaluable inspiration while wandering the crooked stone paths through a profusion of colour and scent.
