Steppingley Village Gardens - Open Garden for NGS
Steppingley is a picturesque Bedfordshire village on the Greensand Ridge, close to Ampthill, Flitwick and Woburn. Although a few older buildings survive, most of Steppingley was built by the 7th Duke of Bedford between 1840 and 1872. Five gardens in the village offer an interesting mix of planting styles and design. Colourful displays of tulips and spring bulbs in April and cottage garden style early perennials, roses and peonies in May. There are pretty courtyards, three large wildlife ponds and several small ponds, a Victorian well, a shell grotto, glasshouses, a succulent collection, vegetable gardens and country views. The gardens are also home to chickens, ducks, moorhens, fish and much more, depending on the time of year.
