Our aim at Packwood has been to re-create what was once a vital part of the Fetherston family's self-sufficient home here in the 1700s.
Kitchen Garden re-opening
Our Kitchen Garden is now back open for visitors to enjoy, daily, from 9am. 2020 was an extraordinary year, and certainly not one to be forgotten. The realities of looking after Packwood’s historic garden during a nationwide lockdown meant that the production of fruit and vegetables in the Kitchen Garden simply had to be put to one side. Our Kitchen Garden has a long history, yet nothing like this had ever happened before. Nature took over very quickly during the warm, dry spring and summer, and the garden became an undisturbed haven for a wide variety of birds and insects who suddenly had the whole place to themselves.
