We have a beautiful Japanese garden, a White Garden, hundreds of daylilies and lots of tropical planting. There is a wide selection of plants on sale, and lots of lovely places to sit and enjoy tea and homemade cake. We've had fantastic feedback this summer from our visitors, many of whom bought an annual pass for just £12. We look forward to welcoming to our tranquil garden. Some history - the ga
rden at Apple Court was created in 1988 in the abandoned walled kitchen garden of Yeatton House, which lies to the south. It extends to just over one acre and is situated in rich farmlands between the New Forest and the Solent. The garden was designed as a series of interlocking areas each of which was intended to create a distinct visual impression and to have a microclimate well suited to the particular plants intended to grow in each. The form of the garden was partly dictated by the needs to break the force of the coastal winds, the sea being less than a mile away. The aim throughout is to create a garden in which different interests succeed each other through the year. The season starts with snowdrops and hellebores, followed by pulmonarias and peonies. The Hosta Walk comes into its own in April and is followed by roses, tulips and the Daylily Garden which holds centre stage until the grasses take over through August and into winter. The Garden also features a Hosta walks, Grass borders, Woodland borders a lovely summerhouse. Please follow our page for updates on the garden throughout the year and exciting events planned for 2018.
