Entrance to Myddleton House Gardens, Bulls Cross, Enfield
Myddelton House was home to E A Bowles (1865 – 1954) who devoted much of his life to the creation of the Garden. As an enthusiastic collector and accomplished plantsman Bowles discovered and selected many plants, in particular unusual varieties, many of which can still be seen in the Garden today.

After his death, the Garden fell into disrepair and some of the plants were lost. However, since 1984 Lee Valley Regional Park Authority and the E A Bowles of Myddelton House Society have been restoring the 4-acre Gardens in the original style of Bowles. The Gardens are also home to a prized collection of award-winning Bearded Iris.
