Where humble onionshang out with exotic vines.
Step through the Venetian gates and explore our tranquil and enchanting walled garden dating back to the late 1700s.
An exciting project is underway at Holkham to rejuvenate the six acres of walled garden which was originally laid out by Samuel Wyatt during the late 1700s. We invite you to step inside and see how the work is progressing. The garden is divided into ‘squares’ and ‘slips’, each with their own theme and associated planting plan.
Discover a spectacular stand of Georgian and Victorian greenhouses and vineries, a formal ornamental garden, an established vineyard, a working kitchen garden that yields a plentiful crop feeding both the Coke family inside the Hall and visitors to The Victoria, the exotic garden with its large lawn, and lastly, the cutting garden with its beautiful array of blooms.
Learn how we are aiming to use nature on an increasing scale to tackle pests and diseases rather than chemicals. You’ll also find areas of cover crops, that are planted to help improve the quality of our soils, and plenty of wildflowers in and around the Walled Garden to encourage and support pollinators.
