Prairie Gardens and Naturalstic Gardens

Looking to visit Prairie Gardens or Naturalistic Gardens then discover our Popular guide which features over 500 gardens around the UK
Prairie Gardens and grasses have come into fashion over recent years probably inspired by Piet Oudolf although before this Neil Lucas of Knoll Gardens in Dorset, was already winning medals for his grasses at the Chelsea Flower Show. There is no doubt that prairie gardens can look amazing also attracting insects and butterflies.
We also feature Naturalstic Gardens which feature plants, shrubs, and trees in a naturalistic setting.
We will be adding more places to visit over the coming months but you can also use our search facility at the top of the page.
