The Savill Garden is one of Britain’s greatest ornamental gardens. It never fails to charm visitors who come to explore its 35 acres of contemporary and classically designed gardens and exotic woodland.
Developed under the patronage of Kings and Queens, The Savill Garden was created in the 1930s by Sir Eric Savill. The Savill Garden is a place of constant discovery, and of interlocking gardens, containing distinctive areas such as Spring Wood, The Summer Wood, The Hidden Gardens, The Summer Gardens, The Glades, Autumn Wood, The Azalea Walks and The New Zealand Garden. The Savill Garden mixes native and exotic species and has bred many important garden hybrids. Each ‘garden within a garden’ has its own attractions, and the gardens are ever-changing with every season bringing new colour and interest to delight the visitor.
The Rose Garden, which opened in 2010, takes a fresh and contemporary approach to displaying roses and has been designed by Andrew Wilson of Wilson McWilliam Associates.
The design creates an intense sensory experience with roses especially chosen for their scent, strong colours and repeat flowering. As the deep aroma of the roses naturally rises, visitors will be able to enjoy the perfume at its best, together with stunning views, from a walk way which will, from a distance, appear to ‘float’ above the Rose Garden.
