There is some evidence that there were settlements at Netherby long before the Romans came and so there is probably a history of gardening here that stretches back into the mists of time. \nThe gardens in their present form date back to the latter half of the 18th century\, there is date of 1786 on one of the beams in the present Head Gardeners’ house which gives an estimated age for the walled garden. This matches up with the tenure of Dr Robert Graham who implemented an extensive remodelling of the house during this period. An article by James Dickson dated 8th February 1877 in the Journal of Horticulture and Cottage Gardener describes the garden in some detail. He mentions that many of the trees had reached maturity indicating that the grounds had been laid out for some time\, good evidence for this being the late 18th century. He goes on to describe flower beds with bedding schemes typical of Victorian gardens. He also goes into some detail describing all the different glasshouses and what was grown in them. \nDiscussions with local residents indicate that the walled garden has been used for growing commercial crops such as tomatoes and chrysanthemums. There are also photographs thought to date from around the 1950s which show nearly all the walled garden covered with glasshouses. They have now been demolished and the present owners have initiated a programme of garden restoration. The new glasshouses are Victorian replicas\, but with biomass heating linked to an electronic climate control system\, with heated beds and benches for the year-round production of micro veg and other salad crops. Other produce that requires warmth\, such as tomatoes\, aubergines and peppers\, are grown in season. Grapevines will be trained underneath the glasshouse roof and peaches\, apricots and nectarines will be espaliered against the walls. This year will see the addition of no-dig beds and areas specifically earmarked for the cultivation of cut flowers and new fruits\, including a hot bed trial for melons. \nThe kitchen garden is being put back into use for its original purpose of growing vegetables for the kitchens at the nearby Pentonbridge Inn\, an award-winning restaurant with rooms. \nFurther information \nEntry to the grounds between 10 am and 4 pm on Sunday May 14\, 2023. \nGeneral admission is £6 per person (children free) \nTickets are no longer available to book online\, but will be available on the gate. \n Bedding plants and supercrops in the glasshouses Traditional Victorian Glasshouses Walled Garden Woman with Wheelbarrow Sunny Day in Walled Garden rows of crops in the walled gardens Bedding plants sitting waiting to be planted Doorway in Walled Garden Flower Row in Walled Garden Flowers in Walled Garden Inside Traditional Victorian Glasshouses Walled Garden Planting new crops in the walled garden Row of Flowers in Walled Garden Working Inside Traditional Victorian Glasshouses Walled Garden Weeding the Walled Garden Sundial in Walled Garden URL:https://netherbyhall.co.uk/event/garden-open-day-visit-the-restored-walled-garden/ LOCATION:Netherby Hall\, Longtown\, Carlisle\, CA65PR\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://netherbyhall.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Walled-Garden-at-Netherby-Hall-National-Open-Garden-Scheme.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Netherby Hall":MAILTO:events@netherbyhall.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230520T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230521T160000 DTSTAMP:20260424T070910 CREATED:20230217T134519Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230411T115013Z UID:9748-1684576800-1684684800@netherbyhall.co.uk SUMMARY:The Netherby Hall Spring Craft Fair 2023 DESCRIPTION:Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st May 2023 at 10 am – 4 pm \nAt a time when the Netherby Hall gardens are at their springtime best\, we look forward to you joining us for our annual Spring Craft Fair where you can browse a wide variety of stalls and meet our amazing local artists\, crafters and food vendors. \nThis is a rare opportunity to explore the Walled Garden and grounds at Netherby Hall\, enjoy good food and find out more about what the small businesses in the area have to offer. \nFree entry and parking.
