About the Royal Horticultural Society's Garden, Rosemoor

Nestled in the North Devon Torridge Valley, Rosemoor is an enchanting place to visit and blends formal and informal planting to magical effect. The garden has expanded over the years and there are now more than 65 acres of garden to explore.

Gifted to the RHS by Lady Anne Berry in 1988, the garden consisted of a house, the 3.2ha (8 acre) garden around the house and 13ha (32 acres) of pastureland. Since then, it has evolved and developed into the garden our visitors see and enjoy today.
