Holme for Gardens

Holme for Gardens showcases three acres of beautifully designed chalk stream gardens featuring water features, diverse planting, and peaceful atmosphere beside the River Allen. These relatively young gardens (established 2003) demonstrate how thoughtful design creates mature-looking landscapes. The gardens feature Mediterranean terraces, woodland walks, herbaceous borders, a white garden, Japanese-inspired areas, and extensive use of ornamental grasses and perennials. The chalk stream running through the gardens provides focal points with bridges, waterfalls, and streamside planting. Swathes of bulbs create spring spectacle, while summer brings colorful perennial displays. The gardens emphasize naturalistic planting, wildlife habitat, and sustainable gardening practices. Garden rooms of different character provide varied experiences within compact space. The Tea Garden café serves homemade food with garden views. Plant sales offer unusual perennials and garden-grown specimens. Educational workshops and events share gardening expertise. The gardens appeal to plantsmen, designers seeking ideas, and anyone appreciating beautiful, well-maintained gardens. Seasonal variation ensures year-round interest.
