There are 13 acres of beautiful landscaped garden with wonderful trees,
superb autumn colour and extensive views of the countryside to Dorset. Also herbaceous plantings, which look good
later in the year and a grasses garden. We will be given an introduction by the
owner. Either eat lunch in the café or
bring a picnic lunch.
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
