Yeo Valley Organic Garden
Plan your visit and discover something new
A warm welcome
"After a busy winter we are thrilled to reopen and welcome you all back into the garden from Thursday 10th April to Saturday 27th September, most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays."
We have got masses going on this year from a Spring bulb bonanza to our inaugural Yeo Valley Organic Garden Festival in September.
Look forward to catching up with you in the Cake Hole café."
Sarah Mead - Head Gardener
Opening the gates
Opening times 2025: Our ever popular general Garden Open Days are every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from Thursday 10th April to Saturday 27th September, 10am-5pm.
As usual we have undertaken a few projects whilst we were closed so there will be something new for you all to see.
In the meantime, plan ahead and book upcoming events, gift vouchers and season tickets.
Tickets: £8 for adults, £2 for children under 12 years while under 2’s go free.
Booking is advisable although not essential.
The Cake Hole Garden Cafe times are as above but if you arrive a little early don't forget our HQ Staff Canteen is open Tuesday to Friday from 9am, for breakfast, lunch or a hot drink and yummy cake.
Getting here
Public transport here leaves a lot to be desired, so you’d be best to come by car, bike or foot. We’re just 15 miles south of Bristol (off the A38).
Accessibility
There is access for wheelchairs, and mobility scooters to the cafe. In the garden itself, there is extensive use of gravel and grass which can be limiting. Assistance dogs are welcome.
Members
If you are an RHS, Soil Association or Garden Organic member, please select the correct offer when booking your ticket and then be sure to bring along your membership card.

A glimpse before your visit
Meet the team
For over 30 years, the ornamental garden has been transformed, emphasising bold planting and whimsical elements. The creativity is evident in unique and playful arrangements, ensuring the garden remains a delightful experience for visitors all through the efforts of the Yeo Valley Organic Garden team.
From flowers in full bloom to a cosy garden tea room, there’s plenty to discover at the Yeo Valley Organic Garden. If you spot a member of the team don't forget to say hello, they're a friendly bunch.
Plan your visit ahead of your arrival, and take a sneak peek of our garden map.
Winter in the Yeo Valley Organic Garden
The Avenue
We planted the avenue in 1995; lined with Tea Crabapple trees (or Malus hupehensis, to the uninitiated), it’s at its most beautiful when the blossom is out in May.
The Meadow
We sowed our perennial meadow over 10 years ago and it’s continued to flourish. After flowering, the meadow is cut and the seeds left to drop so the wild flowers can continue to bloom year after year.
The Gravel Garden
From the bees’ paradise of the thyme bank to beautiful herbaceous planting, the gravel garden is a true tapestry of colour. Most of the plants have come from our friends at the organic nursery Caves Folly.
The Veggie Garden
On what was once a tennis court sits a mixture of veg and flowers – our ornamental kitchen garden. We grow all our own plants here – even the supports are hazel and willow from the garden. Our seeds come from Tamar Organics.
The Garden Cafe
No visit to the garden would be complete without a cup of tea and slice of cake, or even a light lunch. There’s a terrace for sunny days and a wood burner inside for when its more chilly!
The Organic Garden Shop
Before you say goodbye, make sure to pop by the garden shop and load up on all your favourite Yeo Valley Organic goodies, browse a selection of our favourite local products and don't forget to check out our quirky gardening bits and bobs.
Gift Vouchers
How about treating green-fingered family or friends to a Yeo day out? Whether it's a day trip to our Organic Garden or a day of learning about the farm and our organic products, have you thought about treating someone with a Yeo gift voucher?
