Graham S – Hampshire

What a lovely few months we had regularly visiting, occasionally with our two young grandsons who enjoy the sheer expanse and the flexibility of paths to explore, and for us, to sit on the plethora of seating areas sensitively positioned, to just soak up the glorious surroundings.

Member – New Forest

Thank you for such a lovely time, we look forward eagerly to joining again from Mid March. We will be there, first through the door on some of our visits and sometimes we come and walk the routes provided down by the river or sometimes sit and read our books on one of those seats provided in a particularly leafy, tranquil spot.

I visited in the autumn with all its colours. It was enchanting and I would thoroughly recommend this as it is my Shangri-La!!

Lucie S - Arundel

Without exception, this is one of the loveliest gardens I have visited.

Aileen – Southend – on -Sea

Beautiful walks along the river and under amazing mature trees. More formal gardens too with lovely flowers. Fun trip on the railway too.

Boywaspy – Welwyn

We came here during the hot summer and left thinking, is this the best tourist attraction in the New Forest? Certainly on a par with Kew Gardens, without the crowds.

Exbury is my soul place – you will love it!

June G– Hampshire

We became members of Exbury for the first time last year and loved seeing the change of seasons. What a joy to find Davdii in bloom and discover the huge waxy cups of Liriodendron. To see the development of the whole around the sundial garden was magical and we found we could identify all we wanted to from the clear, informative board.
