The Organic Garden
Andi, head gardener
Alongside our farms and staff canteen, we have an organic garden that’s open to visitors. It’s six and a half acres of ornamental and edible plants in a seasonal patchwork that we’ve been constantly evolving since we started more than 18 years ago.
Come along and see it for yourself, and pop into our café while you’re here.
Update 27th March: We are unfortunately no longer planning to open on Sunday 19th April for our National Gardens Scheme afternoon. Watch this space for our opening dates.

Opening Hours
Our Organic Garden and Café are currently closed.
We’re no longer planning to open for the season on the 23rd April 2020. We’ll keep this page updated with our plans so watch this space.
We have some events in the garden planned for later in the year, click here to have a look.
Admission
It costs £6 to enter the garden and children under 16 go free.
Sorry, we are a working farm: no dogs please. Assistance Dogs welcome.
Unfortunately, we’re unable to accept coaches on our open days (Thursdays and Fridays), however, we’d be happy to welcome coach groups to the garden on a Monday or Wednesday afternoon by prior arrangement. Please email visit@yeovalley.co.uk to arrange your visit.
See you there!

In the Garden with Andi and Neal's Yard Remedies' Tipper Lewis...
Our Head Gardener Andi recently welcomed Tipper Lewis to the Yeo Valley Organic Garden. Tipper is the brand Ambassador and Naturopathic Herbalist at Neal’s Yard Remedies so really is the person to ask about herbs! After a tour, she showed us how to use the organic herbs from the garden in a seriously special tea!
