The gardens at Fulham Palace are of historical significance, since in the 17th century Bishop Compton was among the first to import rare species from Virginia. The walled garden dates from the 18th century, but has a Tudor ornamental doorway facing the house. It is currently being restored, planting has begun and an aluminium glasshouse has replaced the derelict vinery.
18th-century walled garden has recently been redeveloped as a garden of Scottish fruits and vegetables, and this, along with the American Garden and other parkland are open all year.
Ardentinny Community Trust Ltd. bought the walled garden, which once belonged to Glenfinart House, from the Forestry Commission, and plan to establish a working garden producing affordable, organic fruit and vegetables alongside a more formal leisure garden, while creating opportunities for employment and training.
