About ECO Zone 3
ECO Zone 3 is a working garden in Wokingham that takes sustainability seriously without being preachy about it. You'll find demonstration beds showing how to grow things properly, composting systems you can actually understand, and plants that do well in this part of England rather than some fantasy Mediterranean setup. It's the sort of place where gardeners come to nod knowingly and pick up ideas, but it's not intimidating for casual visitors either.
The whole thing unfolds across a decent patch, with enough to occupy a proper look around for two or three hours if you're genuinely interested in horticulture. Families with older kids who don't mind getting their hands dirty will get something out of it. Young children might find it a bit slow unless you make a game of spotting different plants or insects. The setting is peaceful and honestly quite restorative after an hour's drive from Reading.
Admission details aren't entirely clear online, so ring ahead before you go. Spring and summer are obviously the best time to visit when everything's actually growing. ECO Zone 3 works well as a half-day activity alongside nearby Wellington Country Park if you're staying at California Chalet, though the two attractions serve quite different purposes. Wellington is more about lakes and walks; this is about what actually grows in your garden and why.
