Several varieties of plants are named after the garden, including a silver-leafed wormwood, Artemisia absinthium 'Lambrook Silver',[10] a spurge, Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii, 'Lambrook Gold', and a primrose Primula, 'Lambrook Mauve'.[11]

The garden has been restored since 1985 into the state it was left at the time of Fish's death in 1969.[12] It was awarded Grade I status by English Heritage in 1992.[13] In 2011, the gardens were opened for a horticulture course, the East Lambrook Diploma in Horticulture, which covers both theoretical and practical gardening.[14]

East Lambrook Manor gardens are open to the public for nine months of the year, usually from Tuesday to Saturday.
