Vaynor Park

About Vaynor Park

The five acre garden at Vaynor Park combines spectacular south facing herbaceous borders that thrive from spring through to early autumn. The garden is at its peak in mid July when the roses and south facing herbaceous borders are in full flower where towering cardoons, Crambe cordifolia and Sambucus nigra rise above swathes of phlox, astrantia, early dahlias, geums, dianthus, centaurea, geranium and violas.

The terraced garden is sheltered by red brick walls that host climbing roses and tender shrubs, vines and clematis while in the wood garden, rambling roses scale the Douglas firs planted one hundred years ago. There is a box edged rose parterre, laid out in 1867 which now contains a mix of old varieties and new English roses, underplanted with cosmos and nicotianas.

The acid soil is ideal for the banks of blue hydrangeas that flower from August through the autumn, while the inner courtyard is planted with lime green paniculata and Annabel hydrangeas There are topiary yew birds and clipped box buttresses and spires that bring formality to the looser plantings, of anemones, phloxes and grasses – as well as a box edged herb garden close to the kitchen door. In the orangery, a plumbago romps up the terracotta walls companionably beside a variety of pelargoniums Herbaceous borders Woodland garden Victorian Archery Lawn and stone urns Rose parterres, Rambling roses, Hydrangeas.
