Guided Tours at Bushey Rose Garden

Bushey Rose Garden garden plays an important role in the Bushey community due to its former use as an art school. It is the collaboration of artist Sir Hubert von Herkomer and landscape architect Thomas Mawson that you see in the design of the garden. You can see more than 40 different varieties of roses and over 4000 different plants.

Volunteers will run guided tours taking place hourly between 10:00am and 3:00pm, subject to volunteer availability. The tours will be bookable online via Eventbrite.

The tours will feature a small enclosed garden divided into three sections consisting of the Sunken Garden (a sunken paved area with a fountain and rose beds), the Lawn (a lawn area surrounded by mixed borders), and the Rose Walk (a pathway lined with mixed borders and rose pillars leading from Herkomer Road). The facilities currently provided include a pergola, summer house, cloisters, and disabled access toilets.

In May 2008 the garden was awarded funding from the Heritage Lottery and Big Lottery Fund ‘Parks for People’ programme, from Hertsmere Borough Council and additional funding from Landsberg-am-Lech and the Rotary Club totaling £1.5 million to fully restore it to its former glory. Work began on site in August 2009 and the garden was officially opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, Countess of Verulam on 23 July 2010.
