ABOUT THE Garden Room
If you enjoy coming to the Christmas shop in autumn, then you’ll love the Garden Room for the remaining seasons! This smaller shop, adjacent to Roots Café, offers an eclectic selection where each item is chosen to enhance your living space without compromising your commitment to the environment.
The shop carries an assortment of dried flowers and seeds, vases made from glass, stone and ceramics, along with supplies for flower arranging. Additionally, you’ll discover exquisite candles, candlesticks and chandeliers that can help you create a delightful atmosphere at home as well as gardening accessories, treats for your dog and toys for children.

Muddy Stilettos Regional Award Winner
What an honour to have been voted the 2024 Regional Muddy Stilettos Winner for the Best Lifestyle Store in Suffolk and Cambridgeshire!
Thank you to each one who voted for us – it made our year, especially considering we had only just opened the Garden Room a few months before.
If you haven’t been to visit yet, here’s a good reason to come by!!
Bringing the outside in
A curated selection of lifestyle items and other delights, with a focus on sustainability and beauty.
Enjoy themed areas such as the conservatory, potting shed, rustic room, kitchen garden and more; you’ll find plenty to encourage your creativity and lovely pieces to give as gifts. Beyond décor items, the Garden Room also features household and garden essentials like small tools, aprons, tea towels, well-being products such as handmade soaps and bath oils as well as cards and gift wrap.

The hot and dry weather has kept our team quite busy. We have focused on watering the newly established trees, ensuring they receive the hydration they need. It’s essential to give these young trees a well-deserved drink, as they play a vital role in our landscape and ecosystem on the Estate.
By supporting these trees, we aim to help them endure the heat and establish strong roots, contributing to the beauty and biodiversity of Rougham Estate for years to come.
