Originally laid out in the 1920s by the grandparents of the current owner, the garden has been developed gradually by subsequent generations to its present state, where in 2019 it was voted as ‘The Nation’s Favourite Garden’ in a poll conducted by the English Garden magazine in conjunction with the National Garden Scheme. Since 1991 it has been tended by Susie Pasley-Tyler, recently joined by her younger daughter, Imogen.
Visit Coton Manor
Gates Nurseries
Built within an original 1818 Victorian walled garden, formerly part of Cold Overton Hall, the nursery was founded by Fred and Ivy Gates when they created a market garden back in 1948. Still very much a family business we are proud to say that many of the traditional values the business was built on are just as important to us today. With the widest choice and quality of goods, ranging from indoor and outdoor plants, gifts, garden and conservatory furniture, clothing and so much more to offer why not pay us a visit and experience the charm of Gates Nurseries for yourself?
