Welcome to the Walled Gardens of Cannington & Tea Rooms
A few things some recent visitors have said about us:
"I wish to extend a very warm thank you to all the members of staff for the welcome and assistance we received when we visited the Walled Gardens. The reception and refreshment (oh! that lovely cake), staff treated us so well, and Jane was an excellent guide and informant as to the plants, shrubs and trees etc.
Our congratulations to the students for all their work and ideas in the Garden and for their Bronze Medal at Gardeners' World Live.The Gardens looked truly lovely, and the weather could not have been better. Once again, many thanks for a perfect afternoon."
"Just to let you know how much our volunteers enjoyed the talk - many thanks to all."
"All the members of Beaminster Horticultural Society thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Cannington Walled Gardens. Thank you to all the staff for looking after us so well. Please will you pass on our thanks to everyone who contributed to our lovely day out. Our good wishes for the continued success of the Cannington Walled Gardens".

Located in the village of Cannington, Somerset, the Walled Gardens lie within the grounds of a medieval priory and many of its fine buildings, including the walls of the garden, remain. Having undergone extensive redevelopment, the gardens were officially opened by HRH the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward in 2009 and have also been accredited as a ‘quality assured visitor attraction' by VisitEngland. The gardens are also a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) recommended garden.
The gardens have classic and contemporary features such as; the 'hot' herbaceous border; the blue garden; a sub-tropical walk; and a Victorian style fernery, amongst others. There is also a botanical glasshouse where arid, sub-tropical and tropical plants can be seen and two smaller gardens within the walls (The Bishop's and Australasian Gardens) are areas of real tranquillity.
The gardens provide a superb facility for students at Bridgwater College Cannington Centre to gain essential hands-on experience working with a whole range of plant groups, and many of the plants on sale in the plant shop have been grown on-site at Cannington. View our video on YouTube.
The gardens also have tea rooms, plant sales and a garden gift shop - which you don't need access to the gardens to visit - so there's plenty to see and do for all the family!
We are a dog friendly visitor attraction.
