What's in Bloom? Autumn in the Gardens
Golden Hour
Fall in love with warm hues everywhere you look. The Japanese Maple tree, 'Monzukushi', stuns with its vibrant leaves, as colourful as the fiery dahlias spotted around the flowerbeds.
Pops of pink peek out from the rockery in Charlotte's Garden where a collection of salvias - meadow and woodland sage - catch the eye.
Also spotted in Charlotte's Garden is the Enkianthus campanulatus shrub whose leaves turn a gorgeous crimson red at this time of year.
The Metasequoia Glyptostroboides or 'Dawn Redwood' trees along the Broad Walk glow copper and gold in the autumn sunshine.
Autumn highlights in the gardens
The orchard bursts with a bounty of apples in more than 80 varieties such as the 'Stoke Edith Pippin' and the 'Queen Cox'. Join us on Apple Day, Sunday 5 October 2025, and sample some for yourself!
Hurry inside the Fernery and Conservatory for shelter during a rain shower and discover an exotic world of prehistoric plants and beautiful bromeliads.
Wind your way through the Pinetum, following a trail of acorns, spiky conker shells, and crunchy leaves. The Pinetum is one of the oldest features of the Garden, dating back to 1795.
Nothing says Autumn like pumpkins! A glorious group of gourds grow in the Kitchen Garden and sit proudly on display during October as we get closer to Halloween!
Video footage to bring you closer to the Gardens
Here are a few one-minute-long ambient videos, filmed in the Gardens last summer. If you are unable to visit Tatton Park at the moment, we hope you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, captured in these short films and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
- A one-minute video showing a view across the Dipping Pond, with ferns and leaves wafting in the breeze, a fountain and backdrop of birdsong
