Heavy Horses harrowing the Wildflower Meadow - Sunday 7th September, 11 am to 5pm

Please join us to watch the heavy horses harrow the wildflower meadow. The traditional harrow drawn by the horses will remove the thatch, scatter seed and open up the sward to enable the wildflowers to seed successfully. It’s a wonderful opportunity to watch these beautiful horses at work. Learn more about the Wildflower Meadow at High Beeches.

Guided Walks

Join Elliot Chandler, Senior Gardener, for a guided walk of the many rare trees and shrubs that are to be found throughout the garden. 

Please email gardens@highbeeches.com for further information.

Silent Space

We have a designated Silent Space among the Coastal Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens).  These magnificent trees were planted in 1988 and have formed a secluded and shaded space ideal for enjoying a time of reflection.  Alternatively, we invite you to find your own Silent Space on one of the many benches sited in the glades throughout the garden.  This is an ideal place to turn off your phone, connect with nature and enjoy some time away from the busy world.
