The Bressingham Gardens

Normally from late March until late October, the 17-acre gardens and Steam Museum open as a joint attraction for visitors; a very unusual combination arising from Alan Bloom’s fascination with both. Hopefully both will be open later this year, but in the meantime here is something somewhat unique that you might like to watch on TV tonight... #InsideTheSteamTrainMuseum Thursday 28th May at 7pm on Channel 5

We are still not opening the gardens until we get clearance to do so, but we thought you might like to see a spectacular rhododendron in Foggy Bottom. Planted back in 1978 or thereabouts it once had a label, which regrettably seems lost. It grew to be a sizeable shrub amongst others, branches struggling for the light. A small 'tornado' blew down conifers nearby, and this area was cleared and planted last year.

Sorry you are not able to see this amazing display … but make a note to visit in early May 2021, and it may be even better! ... See MoreSee Less

Autumn Planting

Image: View of Adrian’s Wood Time was when gardeners did more than 50% of planting in the autumn – but that was before the container-grown revolution which started in, where else, but California in the late 1950s. It’s a long story, but once the garden centres and nurseries began to sell plants in pots and […]
