Highfield Farm Open Day at Highfield Farm

This is a garden defined by its plants. There are over 1200 cultivars, with many rarities, densely planted to generate an exuberant display across the seasons. It provides an intimate immersive experience and a real tactile and spiritual connection with this diverse array of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.

There are narrow walks through very tall perennials and shrubs, and you will see tall, wispy pastel coloured perennials and grasses in gravel, an experimental collection of hot and tender plants , a garden of 8ft giants, a classic shrub and perennial garden, including a hydrangea collection, a naturalised wild section and late summer quadrants of asters and grasses. It is a garden for all seasons but with real impact in late spring and high summer.

Good access to site, ample parking, wheelchair access to garden, fabulous panoramic views of north Monmouthshire, huge plant sales of specimens from the garden and, of course, refreshments if allowed.
