Festival Gardens

Discover a stunningly unique RHS Partner Garden during your visit to Springfields, Spalding.

Now open all year round with free admission (except during fundraising events), Springfields Festival Gardens first opened in 1966, acting as the shop window for the flower bulb industry, introducing members of the public, amateur gardeners and enthusiasts to a wide range of horticultural experiences in South Holland.

The Gardens at Springfields were completely redeveloped in 2004, in conjunction with Springfields Horticultural Society, a charity dedicated to the improvement and growth of horticulture and floral design in the Spalding region.

The renovated Festival Gardens welcomed some new additions, as innovative designer, Stephen Newby unveiled a collection of his spectacular stainless steel sculptures throughout the landscaped gardens. The ‘blown’ steel sculptures are largely based around a water theme, featuring a water pyramid fountain, pillow planters and the specially commissioned 15 foot Kaleidoscope Wheel, situated in the Dutch-style canal.

Springfields Designer Outlet visitors can look forward to exclusive celebrity-designed Showcase Gardens such as A Lifetime Ahead by Kim Wilde, Jungle Island by Charlie Dimmock and Sculpture Matrix by Chris Beardshaw, as well as the more traditional Formal Gardens, Senses Garden and Memorial Garden, plus woodland and wetland areas.
