Highlights of the many gardens opening include:

softened by billowing herbaceous borders. For more detailed

Red Lion House: a delightful private
garden, which is chemical-free and uses the principles of
bio-dynamic horticulture. The herbaceous borders, rose, herb and
vegetable gardens are designed to reflect the local environment.
There are also a number of modern sculptures.
Manor View House: this wonderful
late-Georgian house boasts a beautiful walled garden, with a mass of
repeat planting surrounding variegated standard hollies; deep
borders are planted with a mixture of shrubs, perennials and roses.
The Old Vicarage: a mature garden with
views to the church and Cranborne Manor. A natural swimming pond
provides a habitat for wild life.
Bank House: a typical Edwardian small
walled garden with a vine, herbaceous plantings, roses, shrubs and
climbing plants.
