Holehird Gardens has been voted RHS Partner Garden of the Year Regional Winner 2023 for North of England and Northern Ireland.
Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite 'Feel Good' garden among the 221 RHS Partner Gardens and Holehird repeated its success of last year in topping the poll for the North of England and Northern Ireland.
Visitors to the garden said:
“Fabulous location, very peaceful and wide selection of plants. Looked great even on a soggy day!”
“Every path you take there is so much beauty and variety with the amazing backdrop of the Lakeland views."
Holehird Gardens is unique in being run entirely by volunteers of the Lakeland Horticultural Society and this is a brilliant recognition of the efforts of all our dedicated volunteers, whether gardening or contributing in another way.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the LHS, our volunteer gardeners were asked to select their favourite plants amongst all those to be found at Holehird. Their 50 favourites are shown in this book. The book is illustrated with photographs taken at Holehird by our volunteers and the description of each plant includes growing information. Gold labels mark the “Gardeners’ Choice” in the garden. Many of the plants have also been grown for sale at Holehird - look out for same gold label on the pots in the plant sales area.
