St Michael's Hospice Open Garden - Millfield House

Discover a breathtaking country garden that has been lovingly developed over the past decade. Stroll through shady woodland borders, wander into a sun-drenched gravel garden, and admire the hot borders, bursting with vibrant summer colour. A cool-toned purple and white border, complete with a charming folly and seating area, offers a peaceful retreat.

Delight in the structure of formal and naïve topiary, weaving through sweeping beds of perennials, shrubs, and roses. Spot frogs, newts, and dragonflies in the wildlife pond, while wagtails and ducks make their frequent visits. In summer, the wildflower meadow hums with bees and insect life, adding to the garden’s natural beauty.

Explore the terrace, vegetable, and cutting gardens, enclosed by pergolas and espalier fruit trees, and framed by native hedges and trees that divide the garden into unique, tranquil spaces. A visit here promises a delightful blend of colour, wildlife, and serenity—perfect for a relaxing day out!
