As the 2026 Bedford Country Gardens draws to a close, we are looking back through the lens of weekend two. Roses in every colour, quiet lawns in the shade, mountains, celebrity breakfast with James Barry Slabbert, Friday Soirée at the Rosarium and the first glimpse of a gardener’s day have all been captured by the people who were there.

Thank you to everyone who visited, shared their photos and made the weekend memorable. We hope these images bring back good memories and inspire you to add the Bedford Country Gardens to your list for next year.

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟵𝟰𝟱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿.

At Glen Gregor, one tree carries a story from the Second World War. A pin oak was 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟵𝟰𝟱 in memory of Hugh Mapham, uncle of Lochart Ainslie, who died in the war. Now around 𝟴𝟭 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱, it has watched generations of visitors pass beneath its branches, and it is a living memorial to a life cut short.

Thank you to everyone who visited Glen Gregor and the other gardens across the Bedford Country Gardens. We hope to welcome you back to the Cowie Valley Route next year.

Step in closer and see what the garden is hiding. Roses open petal by petal, and butterflies settle on the blooms, pausing just long enough to be seen.

The Orchards is open today, 6 to 8 November, on the Heading West Route. R30 per person per garden, cash at the gate.
