Taking inspiration from a large English cottage garden in 1980 by renowned designer Russell Page, The Culpeper Garden is full of vibrant, rustic and fragrant blooms creating a wild yet perfect oasis.
Named after the family who owned Leeds Castle in the 17th century; the Culpeper Garden was originally the site of the Castle’s kitchen garden.
It was a space to grow tasty herbs, leafy greens and fruit for everyday use at mealtimes. Today it’s a more a feast for the eyes.
