This beautiful garden in Caton, Lancaster, Lancashire UK was created by
Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd and is the winner of the Historic Houses Garden of
the Year: Judges' Choice Award 2020. Arabella has been designing gardens for
over forty-five years and has landscaped more than four hundred gardens worldwide,
including six Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal
gardens and the Best of Show winner in 1998.
Gresgarth Hall Gardens is 12 acres set in a valley cut of the surrounding fields
over millennia by a tributary of the river Lune called Artle Beck. The
sound of water is ever-present. The terraces descend from the house to the lake,
and are planted with roses, clementis and more tender plants in season, and the
predominating pinks, purples and silver-whites compliment the rugged grey stone
of the Gothic house.
The Garden includes terraces, lakes, a small bog garden, a wild garden, an
extensive kitchen garden, a bluebell wood, the Millennium Wood, the
Rhododendron Hills, the herbaceous borders and a serpentine walk.
God Sure Gave Us Some Awesome Gardens. Enjoy! :)
Pebble mosaics by Maggie Howarth are set in the pavement of one small garden.
The four family zodiacs are linked by the Milky Way, with an olive tree for the
Italian-born Lady Arabella, a temple for architecture and meteorological elements.
