Kingston Maurward Gardens

Kingston Maurward Gardens are set deep in Hardy's Dorset and are listed on the English Heritage register of Gardens. The 35 acres of classical 18th century parkland and lawns sweep majestically down to the lake from the Georgian House.

The Edwardian Gardens include a croquet lawn, rose garden, herbaceous borders and a large display of tender perennials including the National Collection of Penstemons and Salvias.

Stone terraces, balustrading and yew hedges have been used to create many intimate gardens and carefully planned vistas.

The walled demonstration garden is planted with a superb collection of hedges and plants suitable for growing in Dorset.
