The garden at The Old Vicarage Washington opens for the National Garden Scheme every Thursday.

The Old Vicarage Washington is a great place to see a stunning display of spring colour. Each year thousands of spring bulbs, including 2000 tulips, are planted in the 3½ acre garden, which is set around an 1832 Regency house (not open) in the pretty village of Washington, West Sussex.

In addition to this dazzling treat, the garden has many wonderful features to see including mature and specimen trees, a Japanese garden, an Italianate gazebo, water gardens and numerous creatively planted herbaceous borders. The working kitchen garden has glasshouses, fruit cages, orchard and vegetables. Throughout the garden, there are well placed seating areas to take in the stunning West Sussex scenery. The treehouse with views over the woodland copse and stumpery are much loved by young and old alike. Whatever the weather, there is a haven in the conservatory where refreshments are available.

See National Garden Scheme (NGS) website for all dates.
