About

Led by members of the Winchester College gardening team, these tours explore the vast biodiversity and horticultural history of the beautiful hidden gardens at Winchester College. This includes a look at the traditional College 'quad', a quiet sitting garden for the old College sick house, the tranquil gardens of the College's war memorial, and the 'Warden's Garden' with its herbaceous borders, woodland, and private section of one of the most famous chalk streams in the world.

Garden tours last for approximately 1 - 1.5 hours and start at the Porters’ Lodge on College Street, Winchester, SO23 9NA.
