The Lady Ryder Memorial Garden

Welcome to the Lady Ryder Memorial Garden

Situated in a superb rural setting above the renowned Hambleden Valley in the heart of the Chiltern countryside. The Lady Ryder Memorial Garden is a 1 acre walled garden that was built at the end of the 19th century. After years of neglect a team of local volunteers took over the derelict garden in 2010 and started the process of restoring much of the former glory of the garden.

People we work with

We work with a number of special needs schools and associations in the local community, sharing the joys and benefits of gardening.
