Head to Brighstone village before the end of September to visit this new addition to the Isle of Wight arts, gardens, museums and gallery scene.
Ever Garden is a picturesque 18th century listed cottage and garden filled with a mix of specially made artworks, planting and history all intertwined.
Outside, various structures intermingle in the borders or hang from branches. Inside, installations made with locally found materials and objects sit on the dressers and shelves that belonged to the family that lived there for over 100 years.

Information panels in each room describe family life and the details of the historic features of the cottage to complete the experience.
The Creator
A place created over the last three years by Island-based artist Ever Grainger (pronounced as in the phrase ‘ever and ever’).
Ever is an elected member of the Royal Society of Sculptors and has been based on the Island since 2008.
When
Having only opened in June, the end of the first year’s open season is fast approaching.
The last day to visit will be Thursday 30th September 2021.
Regular days of the week until then are: Weds, Thurs and Saturdays 10am-5pm, Sundays 10am – 4pm. Entry is £5.50, child (5-15 years) £3, children under 5 free. No booking required.
Where
Ever Garden is in Brighstone village – just off the Military Road on the south west coast of the Island. Found a stone’s throw from the free village car park on Warnes Lane, but tucked away out of sight.
