Whitlenge Gardens & Nursery

For the perfect day out for all the family, visit our inspirational themed gardens.

Welcome to our “little piece of heaven on earth”
That’s what most people say after they’ve spent a while strolling through our award-winning show gardens and then browsing around the nurseries selecting just the right plants for the right place.

Wander through three acres of beautifully landscaped gardens situated in the picturesque Worcestershire countryside. The gardens surround a 17th century cottage which was once part of the Bishop of Worcester’s estate.

The gardens are planted with mature trees, shrubs, perennials, alpines, heather’s etc, chosen to give all year round colour and interest. Take in the sounds of the many water features, from the peaceful ripples of the mill stone bubbler to the babbling of the beautiful man-made waterfalls, from spouting water lizards to a full 100 foot stream and pond system. See the brand new castle complete with 4 turrets, water wall with vertical planting before embarking on a mystical journey from the bog garden with the gigantic leaves of Gunnera (some six feet across) from midsummer through to Autumn, and through our enchanted fairy village. Walk the twisted brick pergola leading you to the mysterious man made cave complete with atmospheric swirling mists, and something lurking in the depths. You must take the time to walk the unicursal path of the beautiful turf labyrinth, which awards you a ‘wish’ when you reach the middle, then contemplate the stone circle which is aligned according to the years solstices and equinoxes.

The house and gardens have served many purposes over the last three centuries. In early years it was a coach house for the estate and later the home of the housekeeper and butler of Whitlenge House, which the cottage stood in the grounds of. It has also been the village dairy and in late Victorian years housed three separate families.

Visit our Tearoom and try our delicious homemade meals or indulge in a cream tea. Then complete your day with a browse in our large indoor Gift shop, or around out plant nursery.
