Trengrove House Open Garden at Trengrove House

Garden designer's own 'single-handed' 2½ acre country garden developed over 18 yrs along 'right plant, right place' lines. Informal borders planted for a range of conditions with interesting and some unusual shrubs, trees, perennials and grasses. I acre meadow, managed to encourage only naturally occurring species with many wildflowers and grasses. Tranquil and atmospheric.

When our 2 1/2 acre country garden opened for the first time in 2018, visitors described it as 'magical' and 'heavenly' and our Virtual Garden Tour has had over 22,000 views. Mixed borders full of texture , colour and skillful plant combinations, a wildflower meadow with 19 important grassland indicator species, an old apple orchard richly underplanted and lovely sunny spots to enjoy your tea and cake are among the delights of our quiet valley garden. Current projects include hedge margins managed with a scythe and an experimental border mixing shrubs and wildflowers.
