thorough deep clean -

the gardens are still open - so why not pop along

We really enjoyed welcoming everyone on Sunday to a what proved to be a great day out in the park and gardens at Belmont.

'Mystery in Stone' are currently on display in the gardens at Belmont this Summer - these 35 hand carved sculptures by Shona artists from Zimbabwe are themed on family, joy, sorrow and rites of passage. Entry is included within the ticket price for the Gardens at Belmont.

Workshops in stone carving are also being held - so come along and find out if you have a hidden talent!

 

The Guided House tours are now up and running again on Saturday and Sunday afternoons : 2:15, 2:24 and 3:30pm - why not stroll around the beautiful gardens (open from 10am), take a tour of this unique family home and then end your afternoon with a scrumptious cream tea - we look forward to welcoming you soon

Unfortunately the snow in December managed to do its best to hamper our annual 'deep clean' - but hopefully we are now on track to get the house back into its immaculate state in readiness for the tours starting in April - we look forward to welcoming you.

Graeme, Peter and Beverly have been busy  pruning the fruit trees and roses, cutting back shrubs, mulching and generally tidying up the gardens in readiness for the snowdrops and daffodils that are just beginning to show - roll on Spring

The walled garden at Belmont is situated behind the clock tower and can be accessed from the pinetum or the courtyard. Its long borders contain a wide variety of plants both annual and perennial. The combination of these borders with climbers, a more formal rose bed and walls covered with wisteria ensures there is interest throughout the year.
