Leaf harvest at Mottisfont

Help us gather up the autumn leaves for our compost bins

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Mottisfont's magnificent trees are not only beautiful, but useful as well. We gather up the fallen leaves and turn it into lovely nutritious compost for the garden - and we'd love help from our littlest visitors.

You'll find mini wheelbarrows dotted around the garden, and leaf bins ready and waiting for the harvest.

Just find yourself a wheelbarrow and a rake for hours of fun!
