The garden at Egeskov continues to evolve today. Count Michael and Princess Alexandra actively contribute to the development of several garden areas in collaboration with head gardener Peter Bonde Poulsen.
Throughout history, renowned landscape architects have shaped Egeskov's grounds. The first major garden design was created during the time of Niels Krag "the Younger" in the early 18th century. Inspiration came from gardens near and far, including Frederiksborg, Fredensborg, and Versailles.

Characterized by Baroque garden artistry, Egeskov’s design featured elements such as a parterre at the end of a stone embankment from the 1700s. Spaces were defined by towering hedges of lime, beech, and hornbeam, some reaching over 8 meters high.

One of the estate's iconic landmarks—a labyrinth—was also constructed during this period, likely in the 1730s. Made from hornbeam hedges, the labyrinth included secret rooms for the entertainment and leisure of the estate's nobility.

In the late 19th century, modernization extended to Egeskov’s gardens under Countess Jessie Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille. Collaborating with Danish landscape gardener H.A. Flindt, the estate gained an English-inspired garden with free-standing trees like yews, gunneras, plane trees, and cypresses.

In the 1950s, guests already had access to parts of the garden, but the decade ended with a major restoration of the park, where the press was invited to the inauguration on May 27, 1960. The gates were opened to the public to the expanded and newly restored garden by Countess Nonni and Count Gregers. It was primarily Nonni who was engaged and had ideas for several innovations, and she brought in the French landscape architect, Ferdinand Duprat, which led to a revival of the parterre garden, now known as the current Renaissance garden. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the estate hired landscape architects Erna Sonne Friis and Ingwer Ingwersen, as well as C.Th. Sørensen. These were important decades with exceptional innovations in the garden layout.

Head gardener Peter Bonde Poulsen, with nearly 30 years of service, has since restored and enhanced key areas such as the Perennial Garden, the Fragrance Garden, and the Rose Garden. His efforts earned Egeskov the prestigious European Garden Award in 2012.

In recent years, Princess Alexandra has infused her artistic vision into the gardens, collaborating closely with Poulsen. Her contributions are detailed in her book, A Garden for Life, published in 2024 by Politikens Forlag.
