Touring The Secluded Walled Gardens At Petworth House | Visitors’ Book

Published 2022-12-13
The World of Interiors presents Visitors’ Book with Caroline Egremont at Petworth House. As the current custodian of Petworth House, Caroline welcomes us into the private walled gardens, located in the parish of Petworth, West Sussex.

As we tour the picturesque landscape, we develop an understanding of how and why Caroline curated flow within the space through the use of pergola and expertly defined passageways: “There are three arches in alignment, all through the six-acre garden. And the reason for the arches being lined up is because the horses & carriage used to come down to get the produce from the vegetable garden to take back to the house.” Watch the full episode of Visitors’ Book as we explore Petworth House’s peaceful walled gardens.

    This is exactly like The Secret Garden from the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. When I first read it, I imagined a magical, secluded, wild but tamed garden.
  • I would have to say this is definitely the most beautiful garden I have ever seen.
  • @nat-nb3yz
    “Deliciously quiet” she couldn’t have described it any better❤️
  • I love Petworth. I visited there when I was an Art Student at Brighton. The House and Gardens are magnificent. Turner painted them.

    hard to believe this is a real place… what a dream
  • @stef10ziggy
    Fifteen years well spent on that arch! This whole thing is an incredible work of art.
  • What a wonderful, long history of care these stately gardens have. Generations of dedicated hands, finessing something that has its own life and will. It must be an honor to work in such heritage.
  • Is there anything more lovely than a green canopy? I imagine she loves being out in her garden.
  • @loveu8910
    I clicked this thinking it was the garden from the secret garden movie (1993 version). It looks magical very beautiful.

    Hat's off to Jonathan Arnold, the head gardener, and his array of gardeners. The amount of work that goes into this staggering. I'm sure this wonderful lady has contributed much to the gardens, but it is the gardeners who make those ideas come to life and maintains the whole place. Something like this is rarely a single-handed effort. One knows that the bulk of the work if not all of the work was done by the gardeners, but what rubs me the wrong way is how she seems to say "I" as if she did all the work herself. She gives herself away when she talks about recording the rainfall. To her credit though, I'm sure her ideas and deep pockets are something we don't see as much of any longer.

    This brought me to tears….. thought of my Gram and how much she loved gardens….. thank you for taking care of this place and sharing with us….
  • That garden is just so stunningly beautiful and wonderful heaven you would be at peace in your soul. Just breathing in the beautiful scents looking at the surroundings
  • What a mesmerizing garden it is, with the most beautiful white Wisteria🌼🌿 And the lady is so modest💫✨✨ So cruel that the video is so short..... I could watch this for the rest of my life🎀✨✨
  • This garden moved me, to realize that it will continue to leave even after its keepers are gone. This people have invested their life's and we can now appreciate the labor of their hard work. 😍
