Barnsdale Gardens

These gardens were made famous by the late Geoff Hamilton of BBC Gardeners World.
In 1984 he found Victorian farmhouse with over 5 acres of land, 'Barnsdale' was born! All but half an acre was pasture - he was like a child with a new toy! A local farmer was asked to plough most of it, and after planting one or two mature trees and shrubs he couldn't bear to leave behind he set about on the first project.
Two years later Gardeners' World was well established in its new home with Geoff's natural and down to earth style making him a hit with the viewers. He married his second wife Lynda and the rest, I'm sure, all of you have followed over the years.
Now see the gardens within the Garden that he created.
