Houghton Hall

Renovation of the 5-acre walled garden at Houghton Hall began in 1991. 
The former kitchen garden had fallen into a state of disrepair and Lord Cholmondeley was keen to restore it as a memorial to his grandmother. Although an area of productive kitchen garden has been retained, the larger part of the garden has been laid out as a series of ornamental gardens in various styles.
The rose garden  planted with nearly 150 varieties of both new and older roses. The central, box- edged parterre is based on the William Kent design for the ceiling in the White Drawing-Room.
Plenty more to see at Houghton Hall with sunken pool,  glass house with orchid collection and garden room with Tufa water feature.
