Garden Features

Adjacent to nursery specialising in unusual perennials, ferns and grasses, all tried and tested in the garden.

English Heritage Garden Grade:

National Collection: Centaurea

Description of Garden

Designer: Mark Robson

The garden is set within Northumberland countryside, on an exposed hillside above the Font Valley. The 2 acre garden features large drifts of unusual perennials, grasses and ferns, with the majority of the garden planted informally. Paths and steps meander through natural rock and dry stone walls. A pond and small stream form the focus of the quarry; the damp margins are planted with bog plants and primula. The cool humid atmosphere on the North bank of the quarry provides a home to Cardiocrinum, the Giant Himalayan Lily. The garden also features a large collection of Centaurea all distributed within the matrix of planting.

Adjacent to the garden is a half-acre wild flower meadow that is also home to the beehives. As you enter the garden there is a small nursery selling plants that are propagated from tried and tested stock in the garden. The garden has been featured in television programmes including Gardeners' World, with major articles appearing in horticultural magazines, the Royal Horticultural Society Journal (Vol.120, part 7) and The Gardeners World Magazine.

History of Garden

Created out of a small disused sandstone quarry over the last 18 years.
