Britain's What's On Event Guide
Tintinhull Garden
Heritage Open Day: Tintinhull Garden is a place of floral beauty, tranquillity and innovation - a gardener's garden paradise. The garden, complete with working kitchen garden and orchard, lies in the charming village of Tintinhull, Somerset. Glittering pools, secluded lawns, colourful borders and clipped hedges provide the perfect spot to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle.
Created last century around an attractive 17th-century manor house, Tintinhull Garden is one of the most harmonious gardens in Britain – the small but perfectly formed vision of Phyllis Reiss. The different ‘rooms’ are full of scent and colour, with secluded lawns, pools and imaginative borders.
House and garden work together, one setting off the other. Phyllis Reiss designed the garden with the house in mind, choosing colours that harmonised with the soft, warm colour of Ham stone and planting that meant there was something to see from every window of the house.
