The Arts and Crafts style Sunken Garden has spectacular floral displays. Around this are displays showing some of the many uses plants have in our society.

The Sunken Gardens are closed while we repair some of the masonry and are undergoing refurbishment work.

The Sunken and Display Gardens were built in 1936, and are overlooked by a terrace with benches that prove a popular space in the sunshine. These botanical displays have been carefully created by our Gardeners and Curators to unite our indoor and outdoor collections.
