Careys Secret Garden

Careys Secret Garden is an enchanting four-acre hidden garden tucked away in the Wareham Forest, offering peaceful woodland walks, beautiful planting, and tranquil atmosphere. This delightful garden was created by Lady Carey from overgrown woodland and features meandering paths through diverse planting areas including shade gardens, sunny borders, water features, bog gardens, and woodland glades. The intimate scale and naturalistic style create a genuine sense of discovering a secret garden. Mature trees provide structure and dappled shade for woodland plants, ferns, hostas, and spring bulbs. Streams, ponds, and water features add soothing sounds and support wildlife. Benches positioned throughout invite quiet contemplation. The garden demonstrates skillful planting combining exotic and native species for year-round interest. Spring brings magnolias, camellias, and bluebells; summer sees roses, herbaceous borders, and lilies; autumn offers rich foliage colors. The hidden location and peaceful character create magical escape from everyday life. Plant sales offer garden-grown specimens. Perfect for garden enthusiasts seeking inspiration.
