Furzey Gardens is a magical, inclusive garden.

Every week dozens of people with learning disabilities like David and Liam work to maintain the gardens, raise plants in the nursery for sale and staff the tea rooms.

They learn skills, make friends and benefit from time spent outdoors.

The beautiful garden they have produced is enjoyed by over 35,000 people each year – raising crucial funds for Furzey’s charitable work and showing what people with learning disabilities can achieve.

The secret garden is hidden deep in the New Forest, yet only five minutes from the motorway. Escape from the city this summer and experience our tranquil corner of Hampshire, where everyone is welcomed, celebrated and accepted.
