National Gardens Scheme: Ham HouseGet a special guided tour of the gardens at Ham House as part of the National Garden Scheme open day. These extensive formal and historic gardens perched on the edge of the River Thames contain a celebrated Cherry Garden, the Orangery Kitchen Garden and a formal listed avenue of over 250 trees. These delightful gardens, with an abundance of colourful herbaceous plants, are said to contain the oldest Christ's Thorn bush in the country. All this greenery is overlooked by the 17th century Stuart mansion Ham House, home to William Murray, a lifelong supporter of Charles I - which is also well worth a visit. This is just one of the many garden open days under the National Garden Scheme which take place across the country, helping to raise money for nursing and caring charities.
 

About Ham House & Garden

Perched on the edge of the River Thames, this 17th-century Stuart mansion combines extensive formal gardens with a lavish interior that belies the house's historical significance. In 1626 Ham House became the property of William Murray, a lifelong supporter of Charles I, and thus emerged as a hotbed of Civil War politics and Restoration court intrigue.
