Whitney (Private)

Our garden was established in 1935 and features large trees and good sized garden beds, including a vegetable garden. The current owners restored the garden in 1981. A photo album of garden pictures and environs since 1935 is available for viewing. The garden flows around the Tudor Style house with cottage plantings and some natives, making the most of the differing soils - wet and dry - as well as sunny and shady areas. A working garden, it is identifiable as a large house garden with fruit trees and vegetables supplying the house. We are able to have a sales table with plants, jams and chutneys as well as some gifts. Structures in the garden include a summer house and summer seat as well as a purpose-built, small berry cage, obelisks and plant stands.

We are only five minutes by car from the city centre in Blenheim.
