A note about the gardens: there is some uneven terrain including stone steps and small grades. Please wear appropriate, comfortable shoes. For those less nimble, it is a 8-10 minute walk between the Oatlands Gardens and the Little Oatlands Garden. Members who have walking issues will be permitted to drive on the internal country gravel road to get to Little Oatlands and park there.
Our personal garden guide, David Williams, has written a beautiful summary about Little Oatlands that you can read in advance. Click below to read.
There is a small gift shop that features items from local artisans. It's a great chance to support artists and make some fun purchases.
Please arrive on time.
