Nestled in a Devon Valley, Rosemoor blends formal and informal plantings to magical effect. Welcome to RHS Garden Rosemoor. Our Devon garden is rich in horticultural heritage and could be said to have two faces: one designed more recently by the RHS and the other created over time. As a visitor, you will experience the newest areas first, beginning with the multi-faceted Formal Garden and then the Stream Field and Lake to the north. These in turn lead toward the South West and Devon Orchards and the very popular Fruit and Vegetable Garden. Walking through the Underpass you discover the contrasting original garden of Lady Anne Berry, which consists of many garden ‘rooms’ that blend seamlessly into one.
