Visitor InfoHelp us maintain the legacy of Sir Frederick Gibberd's garden by becoming a friend
BECOME A FRIENDI’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.
The Gibberd Garden is a national treasure.
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.
It is a wonderful garden ... an inspiration to the present generation of young gardeners.
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.
You know how much thought must have gone into it, yet it looks utterly uncontrived: true wizardry.
