Nestled within the grounds of the majestic Harlaxton Manor, the Harlaxton Walled Garden stands as a testament to the innovative spirit of its founder, Gregory Gregory. Our project aims to restore this late-19th century gem to its former glory, transforming it into a vibrant hub of education, community participation, and sustainable growth.

Honouring our heritage: The Walled Garden’s restoration is not just about preserving its physical beauty; it’s about reviving the legacy of a space that once championed the art, science, and craft of gardening. We are committed to maintaining the integrity of the original design while introducing modern elements that speak to the university’s educational mission.

Creating new academic spaces: As part of the University of Evansville’s Harlaxton College, the garden will serve as an outdoor classroom where students can learn about botany, ecology, and the importance of preserving our natural heritage. The new innovation hub will provide a dynamic setting for both performance and exhibition, fostering a creative exchange between students and the wider community.

Inviting community participation: The Walled Garden is set to become a cherished locale for locals and visitors alike. With the addition of a visitor centre, café, and educational ‘innovation hub’, we’re creating a welcoming environment for all to explore, learn, and relax.

Delivering benefits beyond beauty: Our vision extends beyond aesthetic appeal. We’re crafting an accessible visitor experience that delivers educational, cultural, environmental and social benefits. The restored Walled Garden will be a place where health and well-being are nurtured alongside plants and flowers.

Join us as we sow the seeds for the future at the Harlaxton Walled Garden, where every bloom tells a story of renewal and community spirit.
