About Linton Gardens
Several gardens in the village of Linton. Near the top of the High Street, close to the junction with the A1307, is Queens House, with garden 'rooms' separated by hedging and graced by statuary reflecting the age of the house, Elizabethan and Georgian. At the other end of the High Street, the garden behind the Gallery Above at 94 High Street is small and perfectly formed, and accessed via a courtyard where teas are served, and all manner of interesting things go on. 30 Symonds Lane is a small, long Edwardian plot planted as a cottage garden and because of the enormous walnut tree in the middle, the garden is at its best in late spring. The community garden at Chalklands is a riot of colour and joy, and a modern family garden at 15 Balsham Road shows how beauty in a garden can also accommodate a family’s needs. 36 Symonds Lane is an established garden which contains a surprising number of acid-loving plants and a newly planted wildflower area with mature trees as backdrop.
