When we're open, come and visit our garden.

Hidden away behind the Museum is our lovely Garden. Reminiscent of an Elizabethan herb garden, this is a wonderful space to take a break or step away from town’s bustle.

 

Tended by the wonderful volunteers from Totnes Gardens, this is a fantastic place to come and enjoy nature.
