Berry, berry beautiful! ❤️

These deep red berries are the fruits of Crataegus crus-galli, or c**kspur hawthorn. Native to North America, this striking tree provides a valuable food source for wildlife through the autumn and winter months.

And if you're wondering about the unusual name, crus-galli means "leg of a c**k" in Latin. It's thought to refer to the tree's formidable curved thorns, which resemble the sharp spurs found on a rooster's leg. 🐓🌿

Why not come and see them for yourself at Westbury Court Garden? We're open Wednesday to Sunday until 1 November. Visit our website to plan your visit.

This stunning holm oak at Westbury Court Garden is a firm favourite with visitors.

Also known as a holly oak or evergreen oak, this characterful tree is over 300 years old and holds a record for the size of its girth. Originally planted in 1696 as a group of clipped topiary, it has grown into one of the garden's most remarkable features.

We're particularly fond of the 'hobbit hole' in its trunk. We wonder who, or what, might live there...

What do you think is hiding inside?

📚 When an author visits a bookshop … and finds her own book on the shelf!

We were delighted to welcome bestselling Gloucestershire-based crime and thriller author, Rachel Sargeant to Westbury Court Garden earlier this year. Naturally, a browse in our second-hand bookshop was in order, where she happened to spot a familiar title: her own novel, The Good Teacher.

You never know who, or what, you might come across at Westbury!
