Kitchen Garden guided tour - Kingston Lacy
Meet a volunteer garden guide in the Kitchen Garden to discover a history of home-grown produce and experimental planting schemes.
Join us on the first Wednesday of the month, May-October, for a guided tour of the Kitchen Garden.
We have been working hard to bring Walter Bankes’ dream Victorian Kitchen Garden back to life. At the end of the 19th century, the Kitchen Garden was the crowning glory of the whole garden and a pleasure ground forming the climax of the ornamental route.

Each tour lasts for approximately 60 minutes.
