Shillingstone Gardens - Open Garden for NGS
All four gardens are in the centre of this pretty village which lies close to the River Stour with Hambledon Hill as a backdrop. The two larger gardens have some magnificent trees, traditional borders, old brick walls supporting multiple rambling roses. One has an old fashioned walled kitchen garden mixing vegetables, fruit and flowers and the other has ornamental fruit cages, raised beds and an unusual but successful way of growing strawberries. Nearby a cottage garden packed with exotic plants, Bonsai, pond and herbs. The last garden is a 'work in progress', a new bed with roses and wisteria this year. Behind the house a fine Magnolia, wildlife pond and mixed borders.
