About Holme for Gardens

If you are new to gardening or even if you don’t consider yourself a gardener you will still enjoy the setting, the ambience, the scents, the colours and the wildlife to be found in the gardens at Holme. If you are a more accomplished gardener you will enjoy a walk round for all the above reasons and you will see some plants that you are not familiar with.
The basic layout is strongly influenced by gardens such as Hidcote Manor and The Laskett in that the garden is made up of distinct ‘rooms’ separated by hedges and areas of taller planting. The visitor is lead on by vistas and focal points and an urge to discover what is round the corner. It contains an extensive collection of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals sourced from across the UK. There are also spectacular Wildflower Meadows, some annual, some perennial, some native and some exotic. Also a grass Amphitheatre, much used for outside productions. Simon Goldsack has yet more landscape projects planned for the future, this is a garden in constant and exciting development! The Holme for Gardens Plant Nursery and Garden Centre is next door.
