East Ruston Old Vicarage, Private garden in East Ruston, Norfolk, England
The East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden extends across 32 acres, featuring distinct sections including herbaceous borders, gravel paths, tropical plants, and woodland areas.
Graham Robeson purchased the house and its initial two acres at auction in 1973, gradually expanding the grounds to the current size through decades of development.
Alan Gray contributes his gardening expertise on BBC Radio Norfolk and co-hosts the 'Talking Dirty' podcast, sharing horticultural knowledge with broader audiences.
The garden opens from March to November, with a tea room serving refreshments between 12 PM and 5 PM, and guided tours available throughout the season.
The garden demonstrates successful adaptation to exposed coastal conditions through strategic plant selection and architectural elements that protect delicate specimens.
