Visit an Evolving Garden

Please note slightly earlier time to leave Tattenhall, we will leave at 5.30 pm, prompt. If you want to car share please contact me beforehand so that we do not go without you!

How can you resist a visit to a converted Georgian House – originally the laundry and dairy for the Hall, together with a 200-year old Walled Kitchen Garden – these form the backdrop to garden works which were started in 2009.

Evening visit to 'The Laundry' in Denbigh, Wednesday 13 June.

A chance to see a New Garden evolving within an Old Setting!

A two acre woodland walk skirts the outside of the walled garden, featuring Viburnum and Rhododendron. A cottage style garden has been created within the immediate surroundings of the Georgian house, making good use of the existing wall layout to form 'rooms' incorporating a small pleached lime avenue, herbaceous borders, a large terrace and oval lawns.

The walled kitchen garden sits within easy reach, and is in the early stages of a complete overhaul, with plans to include nursery beds, greenhouse, orchard, wildflower area, long herbaceous borders, specimen trees, and large central lawn. Formal yew and hornbeam hedges divide the area, giving a more intimate feel to a large space. The west border is fully planted up with a formal central terrace dividing it.

The 2 acre woodland walk skirts the outside of the walled garden with snowdrops and bluebells. Viburnum and rhododendron were planted four years ago within the woods.
