About the garden

The Entertaining Garden celebrates gin, the nation’s most fashionable alcoholic drink, and its botanicals. Designed as an entertaining space for parties, the garden is perfect for mingling with friends and exploring new botanical associations.

Immersed within the planting, visitors are indulged with both the taste and aroma of the plants. The architecturally columnar Juniper communis, a core plant in gin production, takes centre stage within the garden. The planting palette exhibits traditional and more unusual botanicals to showcase the versatility
of gin’s flavours.
