surrey days out
This garden is all about community.
“We are so lucky to have found this Walled Garden, but our dream wouldn’t have come to life if it wasn’t for the amazing support from the local community and from those that visit and champion our exciting project. One of the many delights of this project is the fantastic people that it attracts, and of particular importance are our volunteers who are at the heart of the project. The magic of the garden is enormously enhanced by the generosity of their time, energy and spirit.”
TODAY..
Come and find inspiration this Summer in our walled garden..
The Garden Shop We’d describe ourselves as part gift emporium, part garden centre. Our shop and courtyard are full of practical, gorgeous plants and things designed to make you go ‘Ooooh’. We love supporting small design companies and independent suppliers and we’ve tried very hard to source items you wouldn’t necessarily find on the high street.
The Hothouse Café
Named after the main derelict glass house in the historic courtyard. Relax over a drink or enjoy lunch in our lovingly restored Victorian Hothouse. Fully licensed restaurant run by family members Paul, Tory and Becky, The Hothouse Café uses locally sourced ingredients to create delicious, seasonal menus.
The Treatment Room And…relax. Escape the stresses and strains of daily life with a visit to our oasis of calm. Currently we have therapists practicing the following: osteopathy, facial rejuvenation, sports massage, aromatherapy, nutrition, cryotherapy, Ayurvedic massage and medicine, 100% organic facials and reflexology. If you don’t float out afterwards, we’ll eat our hats!
The Artshed
Housed in what was once a root shed, our gallery is manned by all the artists whose amazing work you’ll find within. Paintings, sculpture, jewellery, photography, embroidery and more. Unique and affordable. Drop by and you may even find one of those artists producing a piece of art right there and then.
The Larder Farm Shop
Local, sustainable, ethically sourced. Buzz words banded around, but sometimes not necessarily true. Here at The Larder, we really are all those things and more. We stock honey from hives right here in Cobham, our pork and lamb are from a free range smallholding in Guildford and the seven types of vegetables we sell are grown on a farm just 20 mins away. If you care about the provenance of your food, you should shop with us.
The Garden Pod
A vintage Airstream caravan, serving food and drink. Eat and drink the scrumptious delights anywhere you like in the garden. On the covered seating area? On the lawn with friends or on a cool double deckchair with your partner? Perhaps you want to be ‘oh-so-British’ and borrow one of our picnic rugs.
The Workshop
Ideal for holding classes, craft sessions/parties, meetings or any gathering of up to 12 people. With very reasonable hire rates for half a day. The Workshop represents excellent value for money as well as being a beautiful yet practical space.
The courtyard
Home to several small, independent businesses including:
• Eyles & Boo - Bespoke soft furnishers and upholsterers.
• Artifacts - Garden antiques, statuary and collectibles. A great selection of vintage and antique garden tools and equipment.
• Louise Nason Textiles - Bespoke fabrics and textiles woven on-site.
• Topright Design - Graphic designers. Corporate graphic and website design
• Planted - Bespoke planting and garden design.
