National Gardens Scheme, Walters Cottage Hacconby 6 Hall Road, Hacconby PE10 0UY

National Gardens Scheme

Saturday March 1st to Sunday March 2nd

The owners of Walters Cottage, Ivan and Sadie Hall are keen and knowledgeable plantsmen and their country cottage garden is a gem and opens for the National Gardens Scheme on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March from 12-4 pm and again on 14th & 15th June. This immaculate garden is a clever mixture of design and planting and has been developed over the past 10 years with various themed areas packed with interest. At this time of year there is a wonderful display of snowdrops, hellebores and spring bulbs. There is a walled garden with hornbeam allee, topiary and rill, a woodland area with a wildlife pond and plants and a sunken garden. There are long herbaceous borders, lawns and a collection of hostas. This stunning garden is well stocked with many interesting and rare plants with added features. Don’t miss this brilliant garden…
