Head Gardener's Comment

A fabulous 5 acre garden set in delightful Derbyshire countryside. Immaculate lawns set off a variety of 'rooms' in the garden including Roman, Italian, Cornish and of course English garden themes. There are many rare plants to be found. There is certainly something for everyone, and we welcome meeting visitors to chat about anything to do with gardening.

History

    This is some garden. Deserves to be far better known. We were made so welcome as we visited today. The place is immaculately kept and has a real personality. We have come away feeling inspired and fulfilled. So much to see. Vistas everywhere. Think the RHS could learn a lot here!

    With a friend I revisited this garden on a sunny day this week and found it just as interesting as on a previous visit 2 years ago, but earlier in the season.
    So much to see again, and very helpful advice from the owner and his wife.
    I loved the unusal coffee and deep red lilies, and the range of hydrangea.
    This garden should be added to the itinerary of anyone visiting Kedleston Hall who has an interest in gardens. It makes a relaxing contrast and has a wonderful range of colour.

    I returned to this garden for the second time today. It is a beautiful, informal garden which demonstrates the owners' passion and hard work. The garden is very well kept, not a weed in sight and many plants are labelled so one is able to identify favourites for sourcing later. The owners are charming and helpful, always willing to chat and share gardening tips and advice. There is no pretentiousness about this garden, it is just a lovely space with delightful planting and colour schemes reflecting both traditional and contempory tastes. Highly recommended.
