RHS Waddesdon Manor
The impressive French Renaissance-style château of Waddesdon Manor boasts sweeping landscapes and manicured gardens. The gardens boast an iconic parterre, famed for its colourful seasonal bedding. The parterre’s spectacular bedding schemes are hand-planted and made up of about 32,000 plants. The carpet bedding design, changed annually in early June, is a particular highlight and links to the collection in the house.

Originally laid out in the 1870s and 1880s for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, the gardens were created in an astonishingly short time. Victorian focal points in the garden include an ornate Rococo-style aviary housing rare birds, Pulham rock and 3D bird bedding sculptures that are examples of the Rothschild’s pioneering gardening. A sweeping valley of daffodils delight in spring and the fragrant rose garden is in full bloom in June. Summer sees the tropical mound abundant with exotic plants, while trees are ablaze in the autumn and in the cooler months, a vibrant winter garden injects colour. The formal gardens open up to rolling parkland with hidden glades, magnificent woodland and picturesque views.
