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.

THE GUARDIAN: THE 10 BEST GARDENS TO VISIT THIS SUMMER
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
If the touchstone of a great garden is that it sends its visitors home charged up with ideas and resolutions the Gibberd Garden is one of our greatest. There are few gardens in England where the eye and mind are more consistently stimulated and amused.
