Sharing know-how about UK gardening
2. 20 acres of gardening interest at Marwood Hill
A knowledgable local told us about Marwood Hill.
'Everyone loves the garden. It's open all year round and there's always something colourful to look at, whatever the season. In autumn the leaves on the trees are turning, then in winter there are the different colours of tree bark. '
He continued, 'Camellias and magnolias begin flowering in late winter and early spring and of course there are bulbs flowering whatever the season. The rhododendrons and azaleas give a spring display, and there's hydrangea and cherry too. Now, in July, there are too many plants in flower for me to list, but my favourites are the Japanese irises. There are three lakes too, all with carp, some of them Koi. '
