Take a stroll around the gardens at Shugborough once a centre of innovation, the walled garden, formal gardens and arboretum are filled with seasonal highlights, here's a few top tips on what to look out for.

Celebrate Blossom at Shugborough Estate

Blossom at Shugborough starts to appear in the spring from late February onwards. The first blossom is usually on the pear tree in the walled garden, whilst the Lady Walk is bursting with blossom throughout the spring.

When visiting Shugborough, the best place to see blossom is in the Lady Walk where you'll see almost 100 trees, planted in 2022 as part of the the 'Queen's green canopy' project.

This year, we are celebrating blossom with Blossom Week from 20 April- 28 April, where you'll find blossom inspired poetry displayed around the estate.

Walled Garden

Soak up the scents, sights and sounds of Shugborough's historic Walled Garden. This spring, the walled garden is bursting to life with colour, enjoy daffodils, rhubarb and the first signs of blossom as we prepare for the fruitfulness of summer. Originally built in 1805 Shugborough's Walled Garden was a centre of excellence, championing innovation and new technologies. Today we continue this legacy through innovative planting designs of seasonal vegetables and flower borders. From plot to plate, you can enjoy a taste of Shugborough at home, by picking up some fresh produce from our produce stand in the walled garden and plant centre.
