Discover Blickling Estate through a global lens on this engaging guided tour, designed for adults keen to deepen their understanding of garden history. Explore the estate's rich plant collection and uncover how global trade, travel and cultural exchange have shaped Blickling's gardens.

With a different focus each month, the tour highlights seasonal interest across the gardens, from international plantings in bloom to fruiting varieties. Each visit celebrates the changing landscape and explores how gardening at Blickling continues to adapt in response to a shifting climate.

Led by our gardener Bill Adamson, this insightful tour invites visitors to reflect on the surprising journeys that have brought plants from around the world to Norfolk, and to consider the many ways Blickling is connected to people and places across the globe.
