About Kingsland

A plantsman’s walled village garden, of approximately one acre, started from scratch in 2021. Tall trees & shrubs brought in from Holland giving immediate structure. The garden is laid out in 3-sections, with the main garden bordered by herbaceous planting, a sunken gravel garden, and the third tier landscaped and planted with new trees and grasses.
A long walled passageway walk now planted with climbers and roses leading to a small central courtyard, dominated by a gnarled olive tree and planted with dierama and hardy salvias.
For other open days please see https://www.instagram.com/theformidablemrsrobb/?hl=en. Groups welcome by appointment.
