Glorious Gardens

Diversity in Landscape
Diversity in Landscape garden

Here at Ryton we garden in harmony with nature. Ten acres of beautifully landscaped grounds highlight the delights of organic gardening.

Glorious arrays of flowers and shrubs are on show throughout the year. We recapture the beauty of a wildflower meadow and a cornfield. Blue seas of lavender and a host of different roses invigorate the senses.

Organic gardens also provide a safe haven for wildlife and are fascinating to visit over the changing seasons. You're sure to be inspired by the ideas on display and the simplicity of this gentle approach. Just relax and enjoy yourself.

Time for Tea?

Time for tea?

We don't just offer tea; you can also enjoy morning coffee and lunches in our restaurant or in our Garden Cafe. We serve delicious homemade food all of which is organically grown and much of it comes from the gardens themselves - so freshness is guaranteed!

We are proud of our ability to cater for a whole range of dietary requirements and will always endeavour to meet your needs. Overlooking the gardens, the restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere. Many people just drop by for lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea when in the area.

Gifts Galore

You can also call into our shop at any time. You will find one of the finest selections of organic food and wine in the UK, also books and beautiful gifts.

Admission is free to the restaurant, shop and coffee shop

Pesticides? - No thanks!

No-one likes using sprays, especially when they don't know what harm they may be doing in the long term to the environment, or to the health of ourselves and our children. At Ryton we show you lots of ways to keep pests and diseases at bay without using harmful sprays.

The Gardens Keep Growing!

Vegetable Inspirations garden

Each year there are new display gardens to see at Ryton Gardens. The new Vegetable Way and Vegetable Inspirations gardens show just how easy it is to grow vegetables at home. There are lots of unusual ideas to try out - including growing vegetables in containers and amongst your ornamental border. The Flowers for Pleasure Garden is also new and demonstrates how to grow good quality flowers for cutting and drying at home.

Why not enjoy a guided tour of the gardens?
From May until the end of September on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays at 11:30am and 2:30pm. There is no additional cost for these tours. Other times by arrangement.

The gardens, shop and restaurant are all fully accessible to wheelchair users. We have three wheelchairs available, including two motorised chairs, and there are toilets for those with disabilities. If you would like the use of a wheelchair during your visit, we would recommend that you book one in advance – particularly during the summer months as the demand can be high.
