What our other guests had to say
We loved everything about Earthlore! It was a great experience for our 3 kids when they were, 3 years, 2 years and a baby. We look forward to coming back this year!

Excellent place. Run by a friendly couple. Inspector insector is very knowledgeable. It was just us there that day and we still got the full tour and experience, plus some more detailed advice on garden insects and plants. The gardens are interesting for adults too.
Jeremy Wells
Really fun and informative. The wonderful garden and superb bird life are a bonus.
