arah Price designed the garden at M ag g i e’s
in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Wildflower beds,
roof gardens and multiple planters filled with
seasonal displays provide interest to those
visiting this cancer care centre. Copper beech and
cherry blossom feature, as well as various bulbs.
Near Leyland, Lancashire, Glynwood House is set in
a rural location where its meandering woodland walk,
pond and cascade water feature fit right in. Victorian
platform tiles, raised beds and terraces with a pergola
provide further interest.
The south-facing Bluebell Cottage Gardens in Dutton,
Cheshire are wrapped around a cottage on a quiet rurallane. The classic country style includes informal beds
packed with hardy herbaceous perennials, while in spring
a woodland walk comes alive with the cottage namesake.
Larch Cottage in Penrith, Cumbria, is well-known for
its nursery but the surrounding gardens are important
in their own right. Find a Japanese dry garden, flowing
perennial borders, a small lake and even an Italianate
columned garden specifically for shade plants.
A steeply sloping elevated site with far-reaching views
define the garden at Scape Lodge, near Huddersfield,
West Yorkshire. There are cutting and kitchen gardens,
and gravel paths lead between mixed borders and
planting chosen for year-round interest.Glynwood House
