12th August - Shows start at 2pm and 6pm
Enjoy some outdoor entertainment in the stunning surroundings of Burrow Farm Gardens with an open air performance of Old Herbaceous. Old Herbaceous is a classic British novel of the garden, brought to life with an outsized and unforgettable title character.
Bring a chair or rug and a picnic and spend a glorious summer day watching this charming portrayal of a different time in a wonderful setting.
... Described as “Downton Abbey with gardening tips”, Old Herbaceous is the humorous love story of a single-minded yet gentle man with a passion for plants and is a charming one man play which has entranced sell-out audiences all around the country over the last two years.
An acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a simpler age, Old Herbaceous is sprinkled with witticisms and epithets. The evening blossoms into tender humour, much in the traditionally understated English style of the early 20th century.
As Old Herbaceous, renowned actor Giles Shenton truly lives the part of the legendary Head Gardener, Herbert Pinnegar, inviting you to feel included in a private chat from a bygone, comforting age. Keeping you engrossed, amused and emotionally engaged from start to finish, Old Herbaceous will leave you with a feeling that, perhaps, all’s right with the world.
"Downton Abbey with gardening tips" The Guardian
"Possibly one of the most poignant, beautifully acted, heartwarming plays I have ever seen...and I have seen many! My only regret is that I didn't get the opportunity to tell Giles Shenton, in person, how utterly amazing his performance was! Outstanding." Facebook audience feedback
"Absolutely idyllic" BBC Radio York
"Not to be missed" BBC Radio Kent
"Reminiscent of going down the allotment with your Grandad.......a wonderful, wonderful evening!" BBC Radio Lincolnshire
"An hour and a half of sheer delight. A delightful tale, beautifully told, Old Herbaceous is a joy to watch and not just for garden lovers" The Reviews Hub
Giles Shenton "draws us into his world making the characters so real you feel you have known them forever" Edinburgh Fringe Review
Remember to bring your folding chairs

What a wonderful place to visit. The gardens are superb and everyone is friendly (including the dogs!). There is so much to see and to just sit and rest is so relaxing. The food is lovely too and I'd love to visit again. It's a hidden gem.

What a lovely garden, so many different styles and interesting plants, with a super nursery and cafe. Views all round, and very well cared for. Don't forget the gift shop too!

Was taken here today by my parents, what an amazing garden very worth a visit!

Visited today with family. Had some beautiful cakes and coffees in the Tearooms. Most relaxing listening to the birds singing away. Looking forward to coming back soon to take a look at the wildflower meadow.

Visited here today and thought the gardens were beautiful.Had such a relaxing time wandering around. There were garden seats placed in the perfect spots to sit and view the gardens and listen to the birds sing. Had a lovely afternoon tea as well. Great value for money. Next time we are back in the UK we will visit again.

Loved the Azaleas and Rhododendrons in full flower with a wonder around a lovely garden set in beautiful country side the large fish in the pond was a surprise. Try the Carmel flapjack and tea amazing....

Loved our visit here today. Such clever planting and so many beautiful views. Great tea room with a choice of 4 gluten free cakes was an added bonus.

Just loved the beautiful gardens with the incredible variety of plants and trees, and enjoyed the different garden rooms. The views from the gatdens across the valley were stunning. Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious selection of sweet and savoury delights served in the café. Excellent service from the staff- nothing was too much trouble. Can highly recommend this little gem in Devon

Just got back from a beautiful few hours at the Gardens

Owners very friendly and welcoming finishing off with a delicious afternoon cream tea.

Well worth a visit and we will definitely be going back

Dogs loved it to

Just amazing....so beautiful and tranquil. Fabulous views and dog friendly too. Lovely tea room but plenty of places to have a picnic. Thank you

It was everything a garden should be, somewhere you wanted to stay.

I had my wedding here 25/07/2015, the setting could not of been more perfect. Michael could not of done more to help us have the most perfect day. They are so relaxed and nothing is too much trouble, I can't wait to get the photos back from this beautiful venue. X

Had a really lovely walk round this weekend. Lovely cafe and amazingly beautiful gardens. I'd highly recommend this, wish I lived closer!

Burrow Farm Gardens...We have been visiting the most beautiful of places for many years and every time we arrive there I say I can not imagine not coming here. Such a special place...So welcoming and such a sense of immense peace and tranquillity. John and Mary have always made us feel so welcome...I could go on with the praise but enough said...Would I ever stop coming here to Burrow Farm Gardens...Never. While ever I am able I will keep coming to this place of beauty and peace...Highly recommended.

Beautiful, well kept garden, a real treat as was the coffee and home made cake, put this on your list of places to visit

Beautiful place lovely people and dog friendly. Beautiful resident collie. Nice tea room and gift shop too. Best cream tea..

Amazing place! I took my two young children here for a visit today and couldn't fault a thing! The facilities were so clean and easy to access. The gardens themselves were absolutely stunning In every way, the staff were so friendly and The cafe was lovely too! The views are amazing from the view point at the top of the meadow. Will definitely look forward to a return visit before to long. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic, one of the best gardens I’ve ever visited which has been created lovingly by one family over 60 years with them still onsite working daily.

A true testament to them and sharing it with the public.

A wonderful garden planned to work seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty of the blackdown hills ..The Haha was just one of the flowing vistas that
