About Wytherstone Gardens
A large and enchanting plantsman’s garden created from a greenfield site over 45 years, home to a wide range of thriving rare shrubs, trees and perennials not normally considered hardy in North of England eg. Melianthus Major.
This magical garden is gradually revealed through a series of interlinked ‘rooms’. The spring garden is a riot of colour with azaleas, rhododendrons, meconopsis, trilliums and other ericaceous flora. This links into a Mediterranean garden and small rock garden which is home to some rather rare alpines. The front of the house is covered with wisteria and carpenterias.
Walk through 10′ high beech hedges and find smaller gardens of distinct character and even a secret doorway. Mown pathways meander through an arboretum and past a wildlife pond, currently undergoing renovation, through a wood and into the orchard and wild garden in which nature has free reign for the spring and summer months. The central garden of huge colour-themed themed borders reveal a plethora of shrubs, perennials and trees into which roses and range and competing scents abound.
