Wickham Place Gardens
Wickham Place Garden is a 2 acre walled garden dating from 1706 and features: |
|
- Huge roses, climbers and 5 massive wisterias cascade from the walls, one covers the whole 250' long wall
- Shrubs, perennials and bulbs, many unusual, ensure year round colour
- Outside the walled garden an intricate knot garden surrounds the folly
- Renowned for the Wisteria 'sinensis' at 252' long, now one of the longest in the country
- Over 70 species of birds have been recorded in the gardens and woodland
- The gardens have very few steps. Only one corner of the walled garden is not accessible by wheelchairs
|
|
Wickham Place also contains 12 acres of woodland walks with varied rabbit resistant planting
- Late winter snowdrops emerge through autumn cyclamen leaves, followed by primroses, leucojum and daffodils
- In May, carpets of bluebells are punctuated by uncurling ferns
- Summer tranquility drifts through to the highlight of massed cyclamen and colchicum in September
