'Heaven Scent' group offering new for 2010 at The Savill Garden, Windsor Great Park

The Savill Garden, within The Royal Landscape of Windsor Great Park, is one of England’s finest woodland and ornamental gardens with 35 acres of trees, shrubbery, ponds and streams, lawns, meadows and formal beds which are home to some of the world’s most decorative plants.

New for 2010 are a series of exciting offers for groups to make a visit even more interesting and better value. Also new to enjoy will be the contemporary Rose Garden which will open in mid-June 2010.

The new special interest seasonal tours will run throughout the year, and will include ‘The Head Gardener’s Insight Tour’, an exclusive tour with Harvey Stephens, Head of The Savill Garden; a ‘Royal Tour’ giving highlights of the royal connections within The Savill Garden; ‘A Toast to the new Rose Garden Tour’, an afternoon tour which culminates with an informal chat over a glass of chilled Rosé wine; and the ‘Winter Welly Walk’ which takes a look at the Garden over the cooler months and includes a winter warmer menu in the restaurant.

From January 2010, groups can book a fantastic combined visit to The Savill Garden and a 2½ hour boat trip along the River Thames with French Brothers taking in the historic sites of Windsor Castle and Runnymede. The cost is £24.95 per head and includes lunch and afternoon tea. For more information, call the Group Bookings Co-ordinator on 0845 603 6228.

The combined visit with The Royal Collection is always popular with the opportunity to visit Windsor Castle or Frogmore House, together with The Savill Garden. For further inquiries call The Royal Collection on 0207 766 7333.

A stunning addition to The Savill Garden for groups to enjoy from mid-June will be the contemporary Rose Garden. It will provide an intense sensory experience with roses especially chosen for their scent, strong colours and repeat flowering. As the deep aroma of the roses naturally rises, visitors will be able to enjoy the perfume at its best, together with wonderful garden views, from a walk way which will appear to ‘float’ above the Rose Garden.

Look out for special events including Spring Gardens Week 17-21 May, when The Royal Landscape celebrates its famous spring flower displays and the Celebration of the Rose 21-25 June, when there will be lots of rose related activities to enjoy, including floristry demonstrations from leading NAFAS National Demonstrators, ‘Land Art’ throughout The Savill Garden and a specially themed menu in the Restaurant

The iconic Savill Building, the gateway to The Savill Garden, is home to a superb gift shop, art gallery and popular restaurant.
