Gardenvisit Editorial

An older house with a 1990s garden. Veddw has a woodland garden, a meadow and a series of features and compartments: a mahonia garden, a grey border, a wild garden, a cotoneaster walk, a magnolia walk, reflecting pool, ornamental vegetable garden and a fish garden. The woodland garden has plaques, poems and a lizard on the trees in the wood.

Head Gardener's Comment

"Only rarely does one come across a garden so ambitious and successful as the one at Veddw House ……this garden combines all the achievements of a great garden - excellent relationships between house and garden and between the garden and its surroundings, a satisfying blend of formality and informality and of wildness and control, good use of colour and texture, and a distinct personality."

Stephen Anderton, "The Times"

Starred in Good Garden Guide and an RHS Recommended Garden.

History

Created over the past twenty years by garden writer and founder member of the RHS group 'thinkingardens', Anne Wareham and the garden photographer Charles Hawes.
