Braxton Gardens re-opens next Saturday

Simon & Sarah Relph have recently taken over Braxton Gardens and are now enthusiastically looking forward to the Grand Opening at 12 noon next Saturday 18th June 2011.

To celebrate the re-opening of Braxton Gardens everyone is welcome to meet the new Braxton Gardens team, who will be serving 'Eldershower Flampagne' and Strawberries on the lawn. You can also treat yourself to a 'naughty, but nice' cream tea.

This energetic young couple are not new to the gardening world, having run their own herb growing business for the past five years. The Happy Herbs Company has until now been based in Woodlands within the New Forest. The herbs grown all carry the New Forest Marque standard and the business is now underway to relocate to Braxton Gardens.

For all visitors there is free admission to the gardens, where you can simply sit, relax and enjoy the attractive surroundings which feature the 'David Austin' rose garden & a walled herb garden with clipped bays and box hedges. The planting has been extended over the years to include many unusual cottage garden perennials. The Rose garden has much to admire, including many old rose varieties. You can also enjoy herbaceous borders and a lily pool.

Braxton will now have a large plant & herb shop with a wide choice of herbs, roses, herbaceous shrubs & trees. There is also a welcoming tea shop to enjoy a coffee, cream tea, light lunch, sandwiches & other homemade snacks.

Braxton Gardens offers free entry to the gardens & shop every day from Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 5pm with many of the varieties of plants in the gardens also being on sale in the shop.

  1. Dear all,

    It is good to see Braxton open again.We were away on opening weekend but have beeh twice this week,once for a light lunch and once for tea.We have always enjoyed Braxton, our haven from working at home almost one minute's drive away.
    The new proprietors have put the gardens in great shape and they are improving daily. New plants, new designs and a really good range of quality plants to buy, including the lovely David Austin Roses. One bed is growing vegetables and one herbs...lovely.

    Scones with jam and cream...just delicious and a great range of muffins. If you are not a regular at Braxton for food,drink or just to see the gardens, we really recommend visiting . We look forward to a summer of relaxation for coffee,lunch or tea.

    Just not to seem too sycophantic, warm food is a bit lacking as yet..toast with marmite..a speciality,,,so it would be nice to see something simple like jacket potatoes as an option. Howver, the sandwiches are delicious and the bread superb.

    We wish all success to the new proprietors and hope everyone supports Braxton. It is a lovely extension to the places to see,eat and drink in Milford.

    Terry and Jean Langford
