Croome Court’s Walled Gardens, near Pershore, reopen in April with new features after restoration by the Cronins and volunteers.
Chris and Karen Cronin own the gardens. They started fixing them up back in 2000. This reopening marks their twelfth year. The Cronins appreciate everyone’s support.
Capability Brown designed the original gardens. The Cronins fund the restoration themselves. National Trust volunteers also helped a lot, and visitors contributed too.
This year, there are new things to see, including the restored Pineapple House. You can also see a brand new mosaic garden! A water feature is coming later on.
The gardens are open weekends and holidays between April and September. The hours are 11 AM to 5 PM, with the last entry at 4 PM. Tickets cost £7 for adults, and kids under 14 get in free.
Croome Gallery and Pottery will also open on Fridays to Sundays. Look for them during Bank Holidays too, also open from April to September.
