60 acre park, 40 acre lake and 3 acre walled garden surrounding Crichel
House split into 3 distinctive parts. Mature trees inc exceptional
cedars form the backdrop to the Walled Garden which was set out in 1976
and recently over the last 9 yrs. Box hedges and paths lead into
herbaceous borders. Lime avenue flanked by orchards, leads to reflecting
pond completed by a stone pavilion and 7 individual secret gardens. An
average of 100,000 perennial spring bulbs have been plated each yr for
the last 5 yrs. The annual display starts early with naturalised
snowdrops then leading into daffodils, crocuses and bluebells. Varieties
of daffodils inc Mount Hood, White Lion and Carlton to name but a few.
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.
