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.

Discover what the walled garden is about, the history of the garden and the volunteers who are the current custodians of the garden.

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

The work of the garden volunteers was recognised by King Charles III in 2024.
