Yeo Valley Organic Garden
Plan your visit and discover something new
A warm welcome
Come on in, our garden gates are now open! Meander through the meadow, bask in our birch grove, view our voluptuous veg patch, and check out our new Load Of Rubbish Bed, whilst refuelling in the Cakehole café. There’s loads to dig into this season, from our popular Best of Both, Bee Safaris and Drawn from the Garden Days, to our brand-new workshops and don’t miss our very own Garden Festival returning after a sold-out first year.
The season ahead
Opening times: We’re delighted to say our 2026 Garden Open Day season has recommenced, in aid of the NGS. We will be open as usual every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with an emphasis on spring bulbs throughout April and May.
Plus, after a sell-out year, the Yeo Valley Organic Garden Festival is returning for year 2! Join us from 17th -19th September 2026, to dig into three days of insightful talks, panels and hands-on workshops.
The season continues through to the last Saturday in October. Opening times 10am-5pm. No need to pre-book, tickets are £8 on the gate. Association discounts and children's tickets are available. Season tickets are also available to purchase from the garden shop, The New Inn, or HQ Canteen.
Don't forget our HQ Staff Canteen is open, Tuesday to Friday, for breakfast, lunch or a hot drink and a yummy slice of 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).
Garden 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 be sure to bring along your membership card to show on the day at entry.

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.
Spring 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.
