Alison and Andrew Johnson Take the Helm of Iconic English Cottage Garden

EAST LAMBROOK, SOMERSET — East Lambrook Manor Gardens, one of England’s most treasured cottage gardens and the spiritual home of the English cottage gardening style created by Margery Fish, is delighted to announce its new owners, Alison and Andrew Johnson.

Originally from Cheshire and recently relocated from Seattle, USA, the Johnsons bring with them a wealth of horticultural experience and a deep love of traditional English gardens. With decades of gardening creation and restoration expertise between them, Alison and Andrew are committed to preserving the unique character of East Lambrook while sensitively restoring and enhancing areas of the garden.

“We are incredibly honoured to become the new custodians of this historic and magical place,” said Alison Johnson. “East Lambrook Manor Gardens is a living work of art and we feel a great responsibility to carry forward the legacy of Margery Fish.”

The Johnsons’ plans include careful restoration of historic plantings, expansion of the garden’s borders in keeping with Margery’s design ethos, and the development of new areas that complement the existing style and spirit of the garden.

Andrew Johnson added, “Our vision is to gently evolve the garden, maintaining its integrity while allowing it to flourish into the future. We’re excited to welcome both long-time admirers and new visitors.”

Opening days and hours remain unchanged, and the gardens will continue to be open to the public as usual. Garden lovers can still enjoy the tranquil pathways, rare and historic plants, and the atmosphere that has made East Lambrook a beloved destination for generations.
