About this Event
Crichel House - Open Garden for NGS
60 acre park, 40 acre lake and 3 acre walled garden surrounding Crichel House split into 3 distinctive parts. Mature trees inc exceptional cedars form the backdrop to the Walled Garden which was set out in 1976 and recently over the last 9 yrs. Box hedges and paths lead into herbaceous borders. Lime avenue flanked by orchards, leads to reflecting pond completed by a stone pavilion and 7 individual secret gardens. An average of 100,000 perennial spring bulbs have been plated each yr for the last 5 yrs. The annual display starts early with naturalised snowdrops then leading into daffodils, crocuses and bluebells. Varieties of daffodils inc Mount Hood, White Lion and Carlton to name but a few.
