Waterperry Gardens

Waterperry Gardens are a garden with a museum in the village of Waterperry near Wheatley east of Oxford in Oxfordshire, England.

Beatrix Havergal (1901–1980) established the Waterperry School of Horticulture, a School of Horticulture for ladies, that existed here from 1932 until her retirement in 1971. The gardens extend to eight acres of landscaped ornamental gardens with an alpine garden, formal knot garden, herbaceous borders, riverside walk, rose garden, and water-lily canal. There are also five acres of orchards. The garden has the National Collection of Kabschia Saxifrages. Other facilities include a gallery, garden shop, gift shop, museum, plant centre, and tea shop.

The Museum of Rural Life is located in an 18th Century granary building, with displays of implements and tools.
