About Quaintree Hall

Until recently, two ancient Cedars of Lebanon dominated the entrance, casting shade over the long yellow and blue border which incorporated carpets of waldsteinia and symphytum. Sadly they were felled due to severe storm damage. The silver lining of this event is the increase of light to this area, allowing for a reworking of the entrance borders. Immediately to the front of the house is a box parterre, with cyclamen. Leading off the drive is the Spring Garden, rich with a variety of shade-loving shrubs and herbaceous plants. A path leads from here to the first section of the walled garden, the Round Garden, predominantly an autumn garden, planted with hot colours and through high yew hedges into the Long Garden edged by a richly planted herbaceous border and roses. Through an ornamental gate in the red brick wall, via the drive which is planted with London pride, peonies, Rosa mundi and irises, one reaches the terraced Courtyard Garden. Raised gravel beds accommodate a range of slightly tender plants, herbs and irises surround the house and ferns and other shade-lovers fill the north-facing border. The conservatory (open) houses climbers, plumbago and jasmine, and a collection of begonias and clivia.
