In spring 2022 Morton Hall Gardens opens its gates to visitors for its annual Tulip Festival, with all ticket sales supporting costume-making at the RSC. More than 100 tulip varieties can be admired in borders,  pots and three cut flower marquees, revealing the magic and splendour of the queen of the spring flowers. Bloms Bulbs, winner of 68 Chelsea Gold medals, supply the bulbs and will be on site with expert advice on your favourite choices. History of Tulips The tulip’s conquest of western Europe began in the Netherlands: In the mid-16th century, travellers brought back bulbs from the Ottoman Empire. The Turks had been cultivating tulips as early as 1000 AD and adopted them as an emblem of the court. The correct name for tulips is the Persian word ‘lale’, but there was a confusion with the Persian and Turkish words for ‘turban’. This is how the misnomer was created and adhered to ever since. In the Dutch Golden age, tulips caused the first major financial bubble. They became the ultimate status symbol. During ‘Tulipmania’, which lasted from 1634 to 1637, just one bulb of a desirable tulip could fetch the same price as a house in the best quarter of Amsterdam. In England, tulips were introduced in the 1630s, which is probably why they don’t feature in Shakespeare’s works. Nowadays, tulips are widely available and affordable. However, they have not lost their magical pull. Tulip festivals are celebrated in many countries. The Netherlands, where tulips are bred and sold in billions, host the most important and well-known. However, if you visit Istanbul in April and early May, you will find that more than 20 million tulips have been planted throughout the city for the ‘Lale’ Festival. This tradition goes back to the late 17th to mid-18th century, which was the height of tulip popularity in the Ottoman Empire, as can still be seen in the ceramic decorations of many palaces. What is tulip magic? I like to compare it to a carnival or New Year’s fireworks. There is a joyful, limitless riot of colour and shapes. All is allowed: the boldest and most outrageous combinations and wild pageants of pattern. It is the ultimate victory over the bleakness of winter. But tulip festivals are more than celebrations of winter’s end. They are also a great opportunity to see hundreds of different varieties ‘in the flesh’. Beyond colour and shape, there are scent, texture and habit. It can be startling how varieties that look very similar on a catalogue page will appear very diverse when planted next to each other. An ideal opportunity to find the tulip you have been looking for!

The Welcombe Hills and Clopton Park offer delightful walks through grassland and woodland. Woolly thistle, quaking-grass and the diminutive adder’s-tongue grow in the grasslands where ant hills created by yellow meadow ants are a distinctive feature. The woodland contains oak, horse-chestnut and beech with English elm. Birds are plentiful, with great spotted woodpecker, sparrowhawk, little owl, treecreeper and finches enjoying the woodland where ravens breed in spring. Brimstone butterflies are numerous in the spring sunshine. History of the Welcombe Hills: a Shakespearean tale The reserve may have got its name from a historic well found here with its inscription 'SJC 1686'. Margaret, daughter of William Clopton who died in 1592 supposedly drowned here. It was around this time that Shakespeare was writing his famous play, Hamlet, and its believed that this tragic event provided the inspiration for his 'Ophelia' and her lonely death.

Beautiful SSSI...great access...full of bluebells

Bannam's Wood is a small remnant of the ancient wildwood that was once widespread across the Midlands, but which is now very rare in Warwickshire. The woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The Walled Garden, opened by Alan Titchmarsh in 1996, is undoubtedly the 'jewel in the crown' of the Coughton Court Gardens. Comprising of a series of 'garden rooms', the Walled Garden provides a range of garden experiences, including the Rose Labyrinth, Early Summer Garden, Pool Garden and Hot and Cool Garden - a riot of colour provided by two magnificent herbaceous borders. In 2016 the Red and White Gardens were redesigned into one space, the Ladies Garden which has a more contemporary feel. Named the Ladies Garden to compliment the Gentleman's' Walk across the lake. The Walled Garden also hosts a recent sculpture by Rosie Musgrave, the 'Tsunami Noni', in the Pool Garden. First seen by Mrs McLaren-Thrckmorton and her late husband, Andrew McLaren, in Exeter Cathedral in 2005, this sculpture was carved from a single piece of limestone over 140 million years old. It serves as a lasting memorial to the victims of the Asian Tsunami in 2004. http://www.coughtoncourt.co.uk/walled-garden.html
