A living piece of botanical history for Holker Hall & Gardens.

Watch as, Will Frank, a member of our gardening team plants the new Paulownia tree gifted to Holker by Tony Kirkham MBE, renowned arboriculturist.

Known for its spectacular spring flowers, impressive growth rate, and rich history, this Paulownia was once thought to be extinct and is a remarkable addition to our collection.

We look forward to watching it thrive for generations to come.

From carefully lifting and storing our 'Cafe Au Lait' Dahlia tubers over winter to replanting them in their new home this spring, it's been exciting to watch their journey unfold with blooms expected mid-summer.

Despite the rainy and windy weather, our gardeners don't stop, they have rehomed our Dalhias ready for the summer season.

With moisture-retaining mulch, a cats cradle support system, and plenty of care from our gardening team, they're now growing stronger every day. We can't wait to see the blooms to come!

We can't believe it was just a week ago, while the sun was still shining bright, our flower beds had their seasonal changeover.

With a mix of sunshine and well-timed rainfall, the beds have had the perfect start. The plants are establishing well, and fresh blooms are appearing a little more each day.

It's always rewarding to see the beds settle, grow, and come to life, and this year's display is already looking promising. Keep an eye out as the flowers continue to fill out and put on their summer show!

Our Holker Hound of the week is Bertie, an 11 year old Cockerpoo who loves treats and is very good at chasing the ball and bringing it back. He also enjoys jumping on the sofa when no one is watching!

A sure sign that summer is on the way, our spring flower beds have now been changed over to the summer displays.

Over the past few days, our gardeners have been busy preparing the beds and introducing a fresh new selection of summer flowers.

We’re excited to watch the beds grow and burst into full bloom over the summer, and we hope you enjoy seeing the changes unfold just as much as we do.
