A country garden overlooking lovely views with several mixed borders that always have a succession of colour. Gravel gardens, trees and shrubs and a hidden pool garden, raised beds, cutting beds and a developing wildflower bank give plenty of interest. Teas are served in our beautifully restored stone barn.

About Kirkham Farm

A country garden that has evolved over the last 50 years. The garden has fabulous views over the neighbouring farm land. It has mixed borders that have a succession colour throughout the growing season, starting with clouds of snowdrops, then bulbs and alliums. After that the herbaceous plants take over. We are attempting to establish a wildflower bank surrounding the tennis court, time will tell ! There are good established trees and shrubs with a tiny pond leading to the tennis court. Several hedges make secluded corners with splashes of colour.
We have a gravel garden and raised beds for vegetables and areas kept for cutting flowers and growing on young plants.
Teas will be served in a beautiful barn adjacent to the house.

Good parking. Access to wheel chairs is possible around most areas.

This garden is proud to provide plants for the National Garden Scheme’s Show Garden at Chelsea Flower Show 2024.
