Sub Tropical Gardens

    Historical Background
    Established in 1765 by the first Countess of Ilchester as a kitchen garden to her nearby castle. Developed since then into a magnificent 20 acre garden filled with rare and exotic plants from all over the world. Most of these were new introductions to this country, found by the plant hunting descendants of the Countess.

    Present Day
    A mixture of formal and informal, with charming walled garden walks and spectacular woodland valley views. World famous for its Camellia Groves & Magnolias, noted for its Rhododendrons and Hydrangea collections.

    New
    Magnolia walk and viewing point over the World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

    Chelsea Flower Show
    Abbotsbury Gardens and partners have been awarded a major display Garden at Chelsea this year. For more information please see the Media Release on behalf of the Jurassic Coast Garden.
