La Seigneurie Gardens
About the garden
This estate features walking paths, a stumpery, ornamental grasses, bridges, fountains, a memorial garden, a maze and a walled garden. Managed by the Seigneural family and restored to its 1860 design. At the heart of the gardens are unique buildings, including La Seigneurie Manor House, a Napoleonic signalling tower, a Victorian vinery, an impressive dovecote, an amphitheatre and two chapels.
Located in the frost-free Channel Islands, the garden showcases many plants difficult to grow in the United Kingdom, such as Aeonium arboreum 'Black Rose,' which produces magnificent yellow flowers from late February to late April. The planting schemes are designed to provide blooms throughout the season, and due to the local climate, the plants are typically 6 to 8 weeks ahead of their UK counterparts.
The garden serves as a haven for various insects, where visitors can observe many species of solitary bees and butterflies not found elsewhere. La Seigneurie Manor House can be visited by pre-booking through the website. The onsite restaurant offers fresh, local food while the café serves drinks and light snacks, along with a play area for children.
