The Peter Rabbit™ Garden

The Peter Rabbit™ Garden has proved tremendously popular with visitors who have delighted in the beauty and attention to detail in the design and the way the garden evokes the atmosphere of the Peter Rabbit stories.

The Peter Rabbit™ Garden is a small but perfectly formed show garden which brings to life the kitchen and cottage gardens you see in Beatrix Potter’s illustrations. The garden captures all sorts of details from the stories – the watering can in which Peter hides, his jacket transformed into a scarecrow and the cos lettuces that Benjamin nibbled on.
