Description:
The 2007 Loire Valley Wines Legacy Garden (Cleary Garden) underwent a major redevelopment with vines and aromatic plants to complement the flavours and aromas of the wines from the Loire region.

Nestled in the heart of the City, the area originally housed Roman baths before vintners used the site for trading and growing vines in the Middle Ages. Today the garden has two terraces leading down to an intimate lawn – a haven for office workers and visitors escaping the City’s bustling crowds.

Cleary Garden is named after Fred Cleary (1905-1984), a great campaigner for increasing the City’s open spaces.
