Knoll Gardens Ferndown hotels places to stay near to from Great British Gardens

Whatever the season, there is visual interest aplenty at Knoll Gardens. The UK’s leading ornamental grass specialist, with ten Chelsea Gold Medals to its name, this four acre garden also features a range of stunning flowering perennials and a collection of rare and unusual trees and shrubs from around the world. Spring brings the vibrant colours of the poppies that positively ‘zing’ against the fresh green of the grasses as the garden wakes up. Euchryphia, Hohena, Hydrangea and Mrytle offer exquisite flowers in high summer, and a fragrant home to many birds and insects. Autumn is the peak season for grasses and many deciduous woody plants. With stunning autumn colours the fruit and foliage of the spindle trees, maidenhair and Persian ironwood all combine to sumptuous effect. And as the year draws to a close, sparkling frosts and limpid winter sunshine bring drama to the gardens with the sight of the backlit towering miscanthus long remembered by visitors.		hotels and places to stay near to Knoll Gardens, Ferndown Search now - click here
