Calke Garden is open in support of the National Gardens Scheme.

The extensive late 18th century walled gardens feature a flower garden with summer bedding and famous auricula theatre, as well as an impressive collection of glasshouses and garden buildings. Growing in the vegetable garden are heirloom varieties of fruit and vegetables, on sale to visitors.
