Beth Chatto Gardens

The ecological gardens were created by plantswoman Beth Chatto in 1960 from the gravel soil and bogs of the disused fruit farm belonging to her husband, botanist Andrew Chatto.

[3] The gardens are located at White Barn House in the village of Elmstead Market, 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Colchester.

They cover around 7 acres (2.8 ha) and include a visitor information centre, tearoom, giftshop, and plant nursery.

Chatto lived in the white house that remains overlooking the Water Garden.
