The Tudor Garden

The beautiful Tudor Garden at Shaw House has been open to visitors since April, offering a tranquil space to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Designed by horticulturist and designer Andrea Fearon of Ivy Hill Garden Design, this unique community space was created with relaxation in mind and is perfectly placed to enjoy views of Shaw House.

While the plants are all true to a Tudor period garden, their arrangement offers a contemporary interpretation, with ornamentals, herbs, and vegetables mixed together in the borders rather than separated into dedicated spaces.

The planting took place during the winter months, so we encourage you to return throughout the seasons to see its transformation. The garden will be in full bloom during summer, making it the perfect time to experience its charm.

Shaw House is open to the public every weekend from 11am to 4pm until the end of September, and Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm during school holidays.

The project, led by West Berkshire Council's Community Services, was made possible through funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
