Visitors will find autumnal reds and yellows on the trees in the Glade. Peto’s Italian garden which is sheltered from cold wind still thrives with Michaelmas daisies, dahlias and roses.
The walled kitchen garden has seasonal fruits such as autumn raspberries and grapes, quince, medlar and cape gooseberries.
Big pumpkins and squashes are on sale, alongside spring bulbs, a plant stall and the very popular jam and jelly tombola.
A local wood turner and a willow weaver, coppicers, Essex Wildlife Trust and the Woodland Trust will be present.

Lesley Gamblin, a new Trustee and assistant county organiser of the National Garden Scheme, said: “The Gardens are such a special place, with a wealth of history. I am loving spending more time in them and am really inspired by the hard work and enthusiasm of the volunteers.
“I am looking forward to meeting more visitors too, so that their views can also feed into the winter planning we have ahead of us.”
