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.

    This garden is not worth the entrance fee. You can see much better gardens in any terraced house in any British town. The name Veddw House alludes to grand country house but what you find small unattractive house, nothing to write home about. The garden is over whelmed with hedging, there is hedge, hedge and more hedge, this does not make a good garden. There are more interesting places to visit save your money.

    This garden hits the spot..for me ! A lovely balance of strong structure and generous, lush, almost exuberent plantings.
    Although my visit was made at the end of the gardens' 'season', it was clearly evident the plantings are'nt too busy yet full of well balanced colour mixes or blends, simply but lavishly arranged..I loved it!
    The lie of the land allowed one to have an overview of the site and distant landscape to balance the intensity of the 'rooms' with the rolling hedges.
    Definitely worth a visit. Best to park on the main road and walk down the lane
