The Sir Henry Price Walled Garden

One of the two walled gardens adjacent to the Mansion, the Sir Henry Price Garden is designed with informal groups of plants to give a decidedly 'cottage-garden' feel.

The impact is heightened by the deliberate limitation of the colour palette to plants with foliage and flowers in pastel shades. The atmosphere is very restful, with grey and silver-leaved artemisias and lavenders providing a perfect foil for other species with pink, blue and lilac flowers.

As normal with a cottage garden, the plants are mostly herbaceous perennials, but tender annuals are added for more interest , with the shrubs giving strength and structure to the design. As only to be expected, the garden is best seen in summer.
