Spring beginnings at Sunnycroft

Spring beginnings at Sunnycroft

It’s a new chapter for Sunnycroft as we reopen the gates after being closed for a year. We’re going to be exploring different ways of opening this estate in miniature over the year in response to the impact of Coronavirus.

First up, we’re opening the garden on Sundays and Mondays until Sunday 6 June to pre-booked visitors to enjoy a short stroll this spring. Sunnycroft will be closed to visitors from Monday 7 June while the team plan and prepare the house and garden for the summer openings from Saturday 3 July to the end of August.

Take a turn around the grounds, find out how we’re preparing to start conservation and restoration work on a rare Halliday glasshouse, and take a moment to enjoy being in nature in this hidden suburban oasis of green in the heart of Wellington.

Before visiting, please check local and national government guidance on travelling.

While we’ve been closed we’ve only been able to carry out essential gardening tasks, visit throughout the year to see how our garden grows. We’re not able to open the house to visitors yet, look out for more information about visiting Sunnycroft later in the year. 

Spring blooms

Look out for the golden daffodils welcoming our first visitors when we reopen at the end of March. Crocuses and hyacinths, and tulips will add splashes of colour to the garden during April. Apple tree blossom will bring the colours of white and pink into the orchard towards the end of April.
