The Rock and Water Garden
The Rock and Water Garden is one of the largest privately owned rock gardens in England, with bold stonework, water features and layered planting that changes throughout the seasons.
The Heather Garden
One of the newer gardens at Compton Acres, the Heather Garden combines hardy planting with strong year-round colour and texture.
The Japanese Garden
The Japanese Garden reflects Thomas Simpson’s admiration for Japanese horticulture, with carefully selected planting and authentic design influences throughout.
