Historic gardens

Castle Howard

Historic gardens contain a variety of unique garden architecture sited within the garden landscape, often a part of estate management devolved to estate and managing agents. Assistance in maintaining a balance between the desire to keep the legacy of past generations and secure it for future generations is tempered with the need to stay within a budget.
The consultancy is able to assist those involved in the upkeep of historic garden features such as the kitchen garden and the overall garden layout with experience gained over many years. Genuine advice is offered in the management of a vegetable garden in respect to the practical aspects of the garden layout, crop plans, selection of plants and training regarding all aspects of the kitchen garden.
A full appraisal of the management of a country house garden within the country estate management programme is offered to achieve quality and value.

The Aim

Sympathetic management advice to secure the future of any historic garden on a practical level.
