Springtime blossoms
Clovelly Court gardens are a classic example of a Victorian walled kitchen garden including magnificent glasshouses sheltering peaches, apricots, melons and grapes. The unique maritime micro-climate also allows the growth of tender and exotic plants.
The Victorian glasshouses shelter tender plants and fruits and the herbaceous borders are ablaze with colour all summer.
Visitors can buy bedding plants and herbs as well as freshly dug vegetables and harvested fruit, grown to organic principles, either at the gardens or at the Visitor Centre. The Clovelly hotels are kept supplied with our home-grown produce. Open from 1st April to 30th September, 10:00 am - 4:00pm with special arrangements for RHS members in March and October.
You only realise just how much we owe to the effects of the warm Gulf stream and our enviable sheltered position in the Bristol channel when you learn that Clovelly lies upon the same 51 deg. latitude as other coastal towns and villages around the world where the climate is severe the whole year through.
Happily Clovelly enjoys a unique micro maritime climate where flowers can bloom all the year round and tender and exotic plants thrive within the walled Victorian kitchen gardens of Clovelly Court.
