Aulden Farm

Informal country garden, thankfully never at its Sunday best. Three acres planted with wildlife in mind. Emphasis on structure and form, with a hint of quirkiness, a garden to explore with eclectic planting. Irises thrive around a natural pond, shady beds and open borders, seats abound, feels mature but ever evolving.

About Aulden Farm

Come and enjoy our eclectic and rather idiosyncratic garden. It is informally planted with wildlife in mind and extends to some 3 acres. In 1997 it was a barren site with a few old orchard trees and a magnificent ash. Now numerous nooks and crannies abound and the ash stands proudly in its own space looking over the fields towards Clee Hill.

An amelanchier circle and a wisp of silver birch complete this area. The soil is typical heavy Herefordshire clay so the natural pond is literally a hole dug in the ground! It is now full of lush planting, teaming with wildlife, surrounded by a collection of beardless iris and other moisture lovers. A bridge crosses the dry stream which is planted with ferns, iris and hostas. There are several intimate areas to enjoy and explore including a shady loop with plenty of foliage contrast. All the work in the garden is done by ourselves, but often Nature can lend a welcome hand.
