About Old Bladbean Stud

Five interlinked gardens all designed and created from scratch by the garden owner on 3 acres of rough grassland between 2003 and 2011. Romantic walled rose garden with over 90 old fashioned rose varieties, tranquil yellow and white garden, square garden with a tapestry of self sowing perennials and Victorian style greenhouse, 300ft long colour schemed symmetrical double borders and an organic fruit garden. The gardens are maintained entirely by the owner and were designed to preserve the look of an English country garden while functioning as an ornamental ecosystem. Forty five self-sowing perennial species weave through the shrubs and old roses, all wildlife is welcome and nothing in the garden is ever watered. Please see the garden website at www.oldbladbeanstud.co.uk to read published articles, see photos of what’s currently in bloom and for more visitor information.
