Garden Highlights at Easter

Springtime at Barnsdale Gardens is truly magical. Visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the breathtaking seasonal displays on show at the 38 individually designed gardens.  The flowering cherries in the Japanese Garden and also The Rose Garden are splendid in April and May, as are the following…

Artificial Rock Garden – This alpine garden blooms with life, built on innovative coir-based rocks, an ode to nature’s resilience as limestone pavements disappear.  Geoff Hamilton’s passion for conservation saved Winskill Limestone Pavement in Yorkshire, ensuring rare plants thrived for generations to come.

Stream and Bog Garden – Created during the 1995 series of Gardeners’ World, this pond and stream were designed to be simple, effective, and perfect for most gardens. Flowing water invites pond life, plants, and insects to flourish, transforming the garden into a vibrant springtime haven of biodiversity.

Versailles – Geoff named this vista for its resemblance to the formal grandeur of Louis XIV’s gardens at Versailles. Carefully planted hedges create a striking feature while preserving the garden’s breathtaking views.
