About Tattenhall Hall

We began developing the garden in 1995 when we bought the house, and the process continues. There are colour themed borders to the south and west of the house concentrating on successional planting to extend the flowering season, and vegetable gardens.. The meadows are being managed for wildflowers, and species plants have been introduced into the area along with yellow rattle to control the growth of grass. We continue to plant new species in other ‘wilder’ areas of the garden aiming to integrate native and exotic plants. Interesting woodland plants can be found in the Spinney and Hazel copse. We have planted large number of rare and unusual trees which are beginning to mature. The millpond once provided water for a mill below the dam. The pond has been renovated but remains a wildlife preserve. It is fed by a stream on the east side of the garden which feeds into a Victorian cascade at the other end. There are a number of modern sculptures around the garden. A glasshouse attached to the house is used for unusual tender plants. The garden is still developing with new areas being worked on, and there is usually something interesting to see. Visitors are welcome by appointment throughout the season.
