The Gardens in Spring
The gardens at Deene are largely to the south and east side of the house and have developed over the centuries. The beauty of the garden is that it is never static and every day of the year there is something new to see.
The Daffodils
Daffodils traditionally herald the arrival of spring. Whether in the manicured formal gardens or their tranquil wild equivalent, their multitude of bright heads in golden, cream and white shades are a sight not to be missed.
The gardens will be open to the public for the viewing of the daffodils and other early spring flowers on Sunday 1st April 2012 as part of 'Daffodil Day' (11 a.m. - 4 p.m., Adults £4, Children Free) and at other times for private groups by prior arrangement. For further information please visit our

The Formal Garden
In the formal gardens early spring brings, amongst others, hellebores, chaenomeles, primroses and muscari on the ground and flowering currants, viburnums and the unusual stachyurus up above. Later, masses of alliums and aquilegia, together with paeonies, catmint and other favourites take spring into the full glory of summer.
The Wild Garden

The wild gardens in spring host a mass of colour. Wild tulips and fritillarias follow on from the daffodils and are accompanied by ragged robin, forget-me-nots and Queen Anne's lace. Amongst the trees, magnolias, lilacs, judas trees plus apple & cherry blossom abound.
