The Winter Garden

The new Winter Garden designed and planted by Adrian Bloom and the gardeners at Bressingham Gardens gets better each year since it was first started five years ago. It's also attractive in autumn as leaves slowly turn colour and fall to reveal the impact that different trees, shrubs, even grasses and perennials can have through midwinter until the first snowdrops appear, followed by thousands of bulbs planted for early spring.

You'll find many ideas for your own garden here as well as the spectacle of dramatic colour in winter. Many of the plants will be available in our online catalogue.

Winter opening each day 11.00am - 4.00pm from early November to late March.  Entry includes the Dad's Army Museum, entry through Bressingham Steam Museum.

Entry £3.50 (no concessions). Children £3.00. Winter Steam ticket £10.00



Summer Garden
Designed as a summer spectacular this half acre or so is planted with the National Collection of Miscanthus which come into their own in late summer onwards. They are interspersed with bold groupings of perennials including many varieties of Crocosmia, Agapanthus, Geraniums, Eupatorium and Asters making an incredibly colourful impact to the entrance to the gardens.  


Foggy Bottom

Designed and created by Alan's son Adrian Bloom V.M.H., a six acre garden of year round interest with plants collected from all over the world, broad pathways, backgrounds of conifers, trees and shrubs for perennials to contrast and complement.



The Fragrant Garden
Half an acre originally planted in 1963 and now in the process of thinning and replanting,  and will become 'The Fragrant Garden' containing spring to autumn plants with scented flowers or foliage.


Adrian's Wood
This new garden joins the Dell Garden To Foggy Bottom Garden. This three acre garden was planted with trees by Adrian Bloom in 1964-5 including five 'Giant Redwoods' Sequoiadendron giganteum, some of which are now eighty feet in height. Now Adrian is planting it with North American species and cultivars of perennials, grasses, bulbs, trees and shrubs.


The Dell

Created by the late Alan Bloom V.M.H., from 1955-62, sweeping pathways and 'Island Beds' in a a six acre garden, a collection of over 4,500 different varieties of perennials and ornamental grasses- now looked after by Jaime Blake, Alans son-in-law. A destination for perennial lovers.
