New for 2009

Everything is changing and exciting at Stillingfleet for 2009. Our wonderful new rill garden is now established, where you can admire and enjoy a modern peaceful water garden which is very different from the rest of our gardens.

Our new refreshment area in our barn will be a place to sit with your coffee, admire the pictures for sale and shelter if it is raining!

We have some fantastic morning courses for this year costing just £12. Find out more details here.

We look forward to seeing you all at our York gardens this year!
