Canons Ashby Garden

  3.0/5 (1 ratings)

Gardenvisit Editorial

The house and garden took their present form in 1710. The Dryden family still owns the house. It was, fortunately, too conservative to adopt the serpentine taste of the mid-eighteenth century. The enclosed garden has high stone walls. The Green Court, used as an example by Blomfield, has topiary and a lead statue by Van Nost. There are terraces and old fruit trees.

    There is a sense of much history to this garden. Lovely views and vistas, elgant stone walls and some interesting plants in the various flower borders.
    The head gardener is an interesting cove but I suspect is working with a very tight budget..I felt he needed a few more pennies to get the borders fully planted to make the place really sing!
    It would have been good to see the Taxus etc well trimmed.
    Worth a visit.
