Saline, March 2026

 

The group were welcomed to Kirklands by the owners Peter and Gill Hart and as we were a large group, Peter kindly offered to provide two garden tours. The garden was looking at its best, well maintained with lots of hellebores and other early spring flowers.  

 

Sloping woodland paths against banks with hellebore plantings provide easy viewing of the complex flower patterns. Additional paths have been constructed which makes it easy to view the flowers. The snowdrops were still looking good and very plentiful. The garden has a long season of interest with woodland planting, herbaceous borders and a south facing walled garden with strong structural elements; terraces, walls and raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables.
