Event Details
This wonderful secluded garden in the centre of Hambledon village featured on the television in 2017 in the programme ‘All Gardens Great and Small’ The owner was the presenter who visited gardens to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the NGS. The owner is extremely knowledgeable on plants and the garden is filled with a wide variety of unusual shrubs and perennials with wonderful plant combinations. There are 3 acres of partly walled plantsman’s garden . In 2011 a large central area was planted giving the garden an exciting new dimension. The house was built by Edward Hale, surgeon and farmer, in the early 1760’s , and remained in the Hale family for one hundred years. Since then, four other families have lived there, two of them adding extensions to the house in the 1960s and 1980s. The current owners moved there in 1984.
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.
