In 1772-4 the present walled gardens at Calke were constructed comprising a kitchen garden, physic garden, flower garden and a narrow slip garden to the south of the kitchen garden, together with an orchard. The orangery acts as the focal point of the gardens and is flanked by matching glasshouses and backs onto the garden house. The orangery was probably built in 1777. The area of the kitchen garden is now a large grassy area. Its former paths and fruit trees levelled and dug up during the 1970s.
