Please come and join us for tea, coffee, cold drinks, and a selection of delicious homemade cakes. The proceeds will help us to enhance care for patients and their loved ones at Priscilla Bacon Lodge.

Entry to the garden costs £2.00, which can be paid into the honesty box in the entrance area. Please be aware these funds go to the Plantation Garden. Accompanied under 16s may enter for free.

One of Norwich’s great treasures, the Plantation Garden is a 3 acre Grade II English Heritage registered garden established over 100 years ago in an abandoned chalk quarry, 600 yards from the city centre. Also referred to by locals as Norwich’s Secret Garden, it’s tucked away beside the Roman Catholic Cathedral on Earlham Road. It’s an oasis of calm in Norwich city centre.

Find a huge gothic fountain, flower beds, lawns, Italianate terrace, ‘Medieval’ terrace wall, woodland walkways, 10 metre long Victorian-style greenhouse and rustic bridge. The garden is heavily wooded and provides a habitat for wildlife, making it a haven of peace and tranquillity and a glimpse into a bygone age.
