Welcome to

Blue House Amberley

  • ABOUT THE GARDEN

    We have over an acre of densely planted gardens, all held together by a strong design ethic and meticulous maintenance.

  • GALLERY

    Here are some stunning photos of the garden, taken by Jenny, the garden owner, and updated regularly.

  • SUMMER DRY GARDENING

    Much of our garden is summer dry (unirrigated) but do not expect the typical low maintenance garden.

  • COUCH GARDENING

    A selection of resorces we discovered on our journey to ‘summer dry’ gardening. Here you’ll find links to videos, articles, plant lists and websites. This is a deeper dive for plant nuts like us.

  • VISIT US

    We are an open garden, from 4 November until April 30.

    We welcome small and large groups.

  • THIS WEEK....

    Snapshots of the garden as it changes every day.

“This garden excels at texture and layering and colour.  Seed pods are left for effect, special plants are showcased but the ordinary is also special.  Wee pots of succulents grouped together; thuggish plants behave very politely in very drought prone parts of the garden and the contrast between simple plants looks deceptively effortless. I think you get the message that this garden rates highly with me.”
