Garden Details
Middle Temple
The Garden
Discover a secret vegetable and cutting garden behind the Church of the Knights’ Templar (next to the Master’s Garden, which is also opening for LOG). Admire two fine mulberry trees planted to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee in Fountain Court. Charles Dickens sought inspiration for scenes in Pickwick Papers and Great Expectations around these squares.This award winning garden celebrates an historic site dating back to the 12th Century and a stunning collection of herbaceous and shrub plantings with spectacular roses and lavender beds. The glorious wisteria in the courtyard frames the knot garden, and roses and clematis surround the entrance gateway.
A micro-climate allows tender species to flourish, such as Plumbago. A beautiful pollinating garden for bees has been created under a Cornus kousa.
Head Gardener: Kate Jenrick
