Bressingham Gardens Open

“Nothing is quite the same” will be the comment from many, following the coronavirus pandemic. We all know it is not over and as garden centres and shops open up, caution still has to be followed by the management, owners and the public. Last weekend the first tentative steps were taken in opening the 17-acre Bressingham […]

Container Gardening with Perennials

It seems we are all, if lucky enough to have one, appreciating our gardens and plants more than ever. We have been pleased to get some rain, but news is still not great with the continuing Covid-19 situation. We thought this week we could widen (or narrow) our main focus on garden plants that also […]

Geranium Rozanne

The Geranium Stories

Geraniums are plants that can transform a garden or patio. And each of the top perennials in this post arose as chance seedlings, rather than through any commercial breeding – discovery was made only through sharp and observant eyes. If those individuals hadn’t spotted them, many gardens including Bressingham would be much poorer. Here is […]

You might prefer to go to the crowded beach in this hot weather - at least here in the melting south east of England ... On the other hand, we can’t do better than ask you to listen to the comments of these pleasant visitors who recently came to the gardens.

Instead of sand, if you come to the 17-acre Bressingham Gardens you can get sun, some shade and some wonderful colour. And if you've been inspired by the plants you've seen, you can get some mail order plants from us for your own garden.

Have a competition with your gardening friends and neighbours … we start you off by measuring a single flower of Geranium ‘Rozanne’, taken from a plant growing in a container. Our 'Rozanne' flower (being a little generous with ourselves) looks like an impressive 6cm diameter! ... See MoreSee Less

Kniphofia 'Royal Standard': we don’t know whether this old standard has ever been so good. Given an Award of Garden Merit by the RHS, and introduced by Prichard’s Nursery in Christchurch in 1921, it is still one of the best as it approaches its 100th anniversary. Plantsman Maurice Prichard of that family was manager at Blooms from 1963 to about 1980 and encouraged us to start showing at the Chelsea Flower Show around 1965. ... See MoreSee Less

Eryngium 'Big Blue' with Stachys byzantium 'Big Ears' in Foggy Bottom. Always a favourite of the bumble bee, the Eryngiums are coming into flower now and the bees seem to spend the night on the bracts, rather sluggishly waking in the morning, before flying away... ... See MoreSee Less

This week we had a drone flying over the gardens to capture footage for Channel 5's The Great British Garden series, going out in the autumn or next spring. We thought you might like to be reminded of what the gardens look like from a bird’s eye view, so here is some previously filmed material with some lovely music (which as far as we know, birds don’t usually listen to!).

And now that we are open on a limited basis, if you can plan a visit soon, you won't be disappointed. Book online at https://bressingham.merlintickets.co.uk/product/ADOUTSIDEONLY ... See MoreSee Less
