RHS Garden Rosemoor

Some of the best deep flower beds I have seen anywhere and splendid even now at end of September. Bees and butterflies enjoying many areas especially the vegetables integrated with flowers and fruit. Well structured for the photographer among us. Lovely woodland walks with lakes and interest along all routes. Two good allotment style areas with greenhouses and educational buildings. Visit both is my recommendation. Well done to the garden team. Cafe good too. Nursery very good of course.

We loved this place and wish it was on our doorstep. Wonderful gardens and park well laid out and easily accessed. The staff were excellent and were really helpful and made sure we understood the map and how to get the best out of the gardens. Can't recommend it enough 🙂🙂🙂

First visit to a RHS garden and wasn't disappointed. The gardens were stunning and probably the best gardens we've ever visited. It started well when the entry staff took you to one side and explained the map and the gardens to you and finished with a brilliant plant store and gift shop as you left. In between the gardens were stunning with the rose gardens full of flowers and scent. The water features looked beautiful, and the lake was full of dancing dragonflies. We spent most of the day there having lunch in the restaurant and an afternoon tea in the Wisteria tearoom. Both meals were of high quality and at a reasonable price. Fantastic day out recommend to anyone.

REVIEW: QUEEN MOTHER'S ROSE GARDEN AND SHRUB ROSE GARDEN. AUGUST UPDATE- THE HOT GARDEN I read the other day that this is, a good year for roses, the reason being that rose aphids have had a bad time, so I grabbed my camera gear and headed for Rosemoor. Both gardens as you may have guessed are formal gardens, but I have always been just as happy with formal is informal gardens. Both gardens are fantastic, the Queen Mothers garden has some beautiful white climbers and the Shrub garden uses ropes to trail the climbing roses. Rosemoor has a great team of guys and girls who inform me that there are over 2000 roses in these gardens, having spent time photographing them I have no reason to doubt this. "Less is more", if you want to take your photography forward, if you find a part of the garden you really like allocate time to shoot, stick with it. This will give much better results than trying to cover everything. In summary both of these gardens are vibrant, rich and spectacularly beautiful. THE HOT GARDEN. I am very grateful to two previous reviewers "NIci" (September 21) and "Rob Hobbs" (August 21) who have prompted me to visit the hot garden. Do check out their reviews, superb images from both of them, very well done and thank you. This garden is pure colour sensory overload, superb, it is an extraordinary garden.

Had an amazing super duper day at Rosemoor , can highly recommend. Lunch was definitely 5stars. Table service and reasonably priced for two courses and a drink . Had the salmon , delicious new potatoes and yummy salad too with produce from the garden . Lake and water features are phenomenal. Got pics of damselflies and other mini beasts too . Was lost in the peace too in upper woodland walk . Stunning drive down too and scenery . Will definitely be going again
