Samarès Manor - The Essence of Jersey
Herb Garden Café
The café, run by Andrew Hougardy, is uniquely situated in the herb garden surrounded by
roses, lavenders and other fragrant plants.
Andrew serves stylish homemade food throughout the day, including a variety of snacks, salads,
delicious deserts, biscuits and cakes. His popular “Daily Delights” menu offers many locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, complemented by
freshly cut herbs. It doesnt have to be tea time to enjoy a Jersey cream tea;
homemade scones and fresh Jersey cream are a definite must and you can choose
from a selection of specialist teas and coffees.
Andrew also makes chutneys and relishes, using, wherever possible, fresh produce
from the gardens. These are for sale in gift shop at the front gate.
Catering for small daytime and evening functions for up to fifty is available
with the option of using either the terrace or the cafés marquee.

The Garden Project
The Herb Garden - The most spectacular in the UK
These unique gardens were created in the nineteen twenties by millionaire
shipping magnate and philanthropist, Sir James Knott, and in recent years they
have undergone substantial restoration, diversification and development.
The gardens have always offered exceptional environmental conditions for growing
a extensive range of plants, but now the onset of climate change brings with it
further opportunities.
Samarès Manor’s herb garden, one of the most comprehensive in Europe, was the inspiration of
internationally renowned garden designer and author, John Brookes. Its unique
design can be best appreciated from the viewing platform high above the garden,
adding an extra dimension to this unique collection of culinary, fragrant,
cosmetic and medicinal plants.
Herbs are for sale in the Manor’s nursery.

For specially recommended roses
and lavenders
As the gardens of Samarès Manor have been developed and expanded over the last twenty years, so has the
massive collection of plants for sale in the nursery. Strong emphasis is placed
on stocking new, special and often uncommon varieties to complement more
familiar old favourites. We can therefore offer many possibilities for colour, foliage effects and fragrance, giving your garden a special individuality.
Stylish gift ideas, many with a herbal, gardening or environmental theme,
include stationery, toiletries, seeds, jewellery, educational toys and
kitchenware.
