THE Georgian Garden in the heart of Bath’s bustling city centre
is the perfect place to visit this spring.
In 1985 it was decided to make better use of the garden and the
positions of the flower beds, paths and the trellis were located by
excavation by the Bath Archaeological Trust.
The garden features the beautiful variegated leaves and double
flowers that were particularly popular in the Georgian period and
follows the original layout – typically simple and formal.
And although the plants that grew in the garden were not
recorded, species known to have been used in town gardens of the
period have been planted.
Staff from the Council’s Parks Department try to keep the garden
as authentically 18th century as possible. They do not use
pesticides and they use an authentic Georgian roller to go over the
gravel.
The garden is open from 9am until dusk. Entry is free to
everyone and the garden can be accessed via Gravel Walk in Royal
Victoria Park.
