REVIEWS

I’ve visited the Gibberd Garden many times and every time it makes me feel like a kid. Much of its planting is green, which sets a tranquil scene. It is cleverly laid out: divided up into rooms, most of them home to interesting pieces of sculpture that increase the sense of exploration and discovery as you move through.
JOE SWIFT
THE GUARDIAN: THE 10 BEST GARDENS TO VISIT THIS SUMMER
The Gibberd Garden is a national treasure.
DAILY EXPRESS
Architect Sir Frederick Gibberd's ambitious sculpture garden ought not to be missed, especially as it is at a peak with excellent horticulture complementing the 90 or so sculptures and episodes that adorn this site. Well worth going out of your way for.
TIM RICHARDSON
DAILY TELEGRAPH: TEN WELL-KEPT SECRETS TO VISIT
It is a wonderful garden ... an inspiration to the present generation of young gardeners.
THE TIMES
Gibberd's Garden has all the sureness of a latter-day Brown or Repton's work. Everyone who visits is bewitched by its serene but entertaining beauty.
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
You know how much thought must have gone into it, yet it looks utterly uncontrived: true wizardry.
