Shipton Court Water Gardens - Open Garden for NGS
The formal gardens at the Jacobean Shipton Court were extensively remodelled around 1905 by landscape gardeners James Pulham and Son to inc a 60 metre long canal planted with water lilies fed by a cascade from the higher swimming pool to the south. Both pools are surrounded with Yorkstone paving and Cotswold dry stone retaining walls supporting the cascading flower borders. The various levels are linked by stone steps and paths with lawns, extensive topiary and hedges, primarily of yew and box providing evergreen structure throughout the year. Exuberantly planted mixed borders give seasonal colour. Mature trees provide areas for shade tolerant plants and the gardens inc 200 year old mulberry and sequoia trees. The Rose Garden replanted in 2020 is a haven of scent and colour.
