Burrow Farm Gardens will re-open on the 1st April 2022
East Devon’s Secret Garden has lost some of its secrecy! In November 2021 it was named The Nations Favourite Public Garden in a competition run by The English Garden and National Garden Scheme.
When looking for gardens to visit in the South West of England look no further!
East Devon’s secret garden is situated in the idyllic countryside between Axminster & Honiton. The 13 acre garden has colour throughout the year from the spring flowers through to the stunning Azaleas and Rhododendrons in May. Visit in late summer to see the Grasses Garden created to celebrate 50 years of Burrow Farm Gardens.
The Gardens
East Devons Secret Garden has 13 acres of lovingly designed gardens with colour throughout the year.
This peaceful oasis has a variety of different planting styles which complement the stunning rural views. Taste the different design styles within the garden and appreciate the naturalistic planting.
Tea Rooms
Relax and enjoy the fabulous surroundings and extensive views from our conservatory and tea rooom.
Delicious Devon cream teas featuring homemade scones, locally made cakes and homemade soup complement our range of freshly made sandwiches. Coffee, snacks and light lunches are available from 10am – 4.30pm.
Nursery
Nursery open to garden and non garden visitors alike from 10am – 6pm every day between 1st April – 31st October.
The Nursery sells many of the special plants that are featured within the garden. Our friendly staff will be delighted to help you and Mary can provide extensive knowledge to help you choose just the right plant.

We are looking for a new part time member of staff to join our team, working on Saturdays 10am to 5.30pm (extra days a possibility). Your main responsibilities would be to welcome visitors, whilst taking payment for Entrance, Plants and Shop sales.
A background knowledge of horticulture is preferred but not essential, as there will be some Nursery work on quiet days.
You will be working as part of a friendly team, in beautiful surroundings and have the added benefit of 20% off plants from The Nursery!
The job is from beginning of April to end of October. If you are interested, please either drop us an email ([email protected]) or give Michael a call on 07595431698
Would love to but live too far away in Essex!
