Bridgemere Garden World

Cheshire, European Themes, Gardens, Productive Gardens, United KingdomBy Maren Hoffmann-Stolz30. May 2017

Starting as a family business over 40 years ago (in 1961), Bridgemere is now one of the most widely recognised garden centres in Europe. Its unprecedented size has also earned it the title “Biggest Garden Centre” in the Guinness Book of Records. Covering more than 25 acres, the site attracts around 1.8 million visitors per…

Love Garden

Contemporary Gardens, European Themes, Gardens, SpainBy Thomas Stolz21. May 2017

Texto en español Love Garden is a garden which was created very much in keeping with the language of the senses. That is why it cannot be pigeonholed as belonging to any particular style. It was not designed by a landscape gardener nor does it follow prescribed rules. Instead, it has developed through intuition, inspired…

Birkenhead Park

Cheshire, European Themes, Gardens, Gardens of Famous People, United KingdomBy Maren Hoffmann-Stolz16. May 2017

Parks and gardens are perhaps not the first thing one would choose to associate with Birkenhead. Instead, this town near the Mersey Estuary would more commonly be associated with the heavy industry of the industrial revolution and beyond. This said, Birkenhead is home to one of the most pioneering examples of park design of its…

Tirley Garth

Cheshire, European Themes, Gardens, Historic Gardens, United KingdomBy Maren Hoffmann-Stolz9. May 2017

Dating from 1906 to 1912, this beautiful Edwardian garden is set in the grounds of the spectacular red sandstone house (not open to the public). Both the house and gardens are Grade II* listed. Although open on just a few occasions during the year, the gardens are well worth a visit. Divided into two main…

Ramster Gardens

European Themes, Gardens, Historic Gardens, Surrey, United KingdomBy Maren Hoffmann-Stolz4. May 2017

The gardens at Ramster lie south of Chiddingfold, a village in the southwest corner of Surrey near the border with West Sussex. The famous woodland gardens at Ramster cover 8ha and were laid out in the early years of the 20th century by Gauntlett Nurseries, of Chiddingfold. Now a mature flowering shrub garden, it is…

Minack

European Themes, Gardens, Productive Gardens, Somerset, United KingdomBy Maren Hoffmann-Stolz2. May 2017

Situated on the south coast of Cornwall Minack is the most dramatic setting of any of the gardens covered in this regional study. Minack is Cornish for ‘rocky place’ and until 100 years ago it was just another headland cliff. The arrival of Rowena Cade transformed this cliff into a remarkable working theatre, a stage…

European Themes, Gardens, Gardens of Famous People, Somerset, United KingdomBy Maren Hoffmann-Stolz1. May 2017

It is most famous for being the summer home of Torquay born Mrs. Mallowan, better known as the author Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime.
