Walker Ground Manor - The Garden - a delightful resting place

The Garden at Walker Ground Manor

Colour throughout the year in the garden at Walker Ground Our private south-facing garden with its numerous trees and shrubs, offers many peaceful and secluded corners, which can provide a delightful resting place on sunny days.

The garden is set against a background of mature woodland and has a natural stream and small waterfall.

Whilst essentially a woodland garden, there is still plenty of colour throughout the year. The first carpet of snowdrops can appear any time from the end of January. The early crocuses soon follow these, before the garden and woods erupt with daffodils, with true Wordsworth appeal.

Set against a woodland background
The first Azaleas are with us by March, and along with the Rhododendrons, these will provide colour until early June.

The garden and house are then taken over with displays of bedding plants and hanging baskets. These fill the summer days with colour, and have won recognition at the 2004 Hawkshead Agricultural show, for the best local garden.

“Experience the tranquillity of our beautiful private woodland garden”

Daffodils - true Wordsworth appeal

I wandered lonely as a cloud...

“For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon the inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.”

William Wordsworth 1804
