Summer Garden Celebration

Experience summer at Hinton Ampner with beautiful gardens, calming forest bathing, and the soothing soundscapes of nature in full bloom.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Discover the beauty of summer at Hinton Ampner and explore vibrant planting schemes designed to support nature, climate resilience and year-round beauty.

Slow down and reconnect with nature through forest bathing, inspired by the Japanese practice of ‘shinrin-yoku’, as you wander beneath the trees and along peaceful estate walks. Listen to the garden’s natural soundscapes - the rustle of leaves, birdsong, and the gentle hum of bees - all signs of a thriving summer garden.

Visit the garden shop to find plants inspired by Hinton Ampner, alongside gardening tools, pots and essentials to help you create your own wildlife-friendly, resilient garden at home.
