Banks Farm

About Banks Farm

Banks Farm Garden began in the 1950s when the Warren family built the existing house and started to develop the garden. A lawn and shrub beds were created leading down to a small lake surrounded by trees and shrubs. Over the years the garden matured and expanded as adjoining pieces of land were incorporated. The garden boasted a large collection of trees and shrubs around the lake and the two other ponds, with lawns and more formal plantings nearer the house and was regularly open for the NGS. After a while the garden began to decline a little and ceased to be open to the public but new owners, the Addyman family, have breathed new life into the garden and it was with great delight that they were able to open again for the NGS in 2016 after an eleven year absence.

The garden will open in Spring for two days when the cherries, crab apples, bulbs and early flowering shrubs will, hopefully, be flowering. Whilst still undergoing a period of renovation the new fresh plantings are blending well with the mature established parts of the garden. It is now returning to its’ beautiful and tranquil best.

Refreshments served outside, so may be limited during bad weather.
