About The Walled Garden

Close to Worcester City centre, this 1/2 acre C19th kitchen garden has been reawakened in 1995 by the present owners. It was totally overgrown with the usual weedy combination of brambles, nettles, ground elder and bindweed amongst mature but dead trees. Peeping out around the perimeter of this dense jungle were old but still fruiting pear, plum and apple trees
Hidden within the jungle were the remains of an astronomical observatory and a 75 feet Victorian vinery.
Using the surprisingly accurate 1886 O.S. plan the garden is now reclaimed with a structured series of paths and growing areas as well as recent additions including a long hornbeam hedge and a formal pond. The outer path connects the camellia walk, soft fruit cordons, the compost heaps, an area awaiting further archeological investigation, bee garden and bees. The cross path inner walks, lead to espaliered fruit trees, vegetable beds, the cook’s herb garden, the medicinal herb garden and the medlar, mulberry and quince trees. Seating areas offer varied views across the garden. The Walled Garden has been featured on Rick Stein’s BBC Fresh Foods, Gardeners’ World with Monty Don and The Flying Gardener with Chris Beardshaw. The garden has featured in various publications including the September 1999 issue of the RHS Journal, The Garden, Cotswold Life and Kitchen Garden magazines.
History and herbs are at the centre of the evolution of this enclosed garden, which is chemical free, we think of it as our living larder and green pharmacy.
