10 Statham Avenue, step into garden heaven

You cannot fail to fall for this peaceful, riverside garden situated on the Bridgewater towpath. Beautifully structured, this ¼ acre south facing garden is carefully terraced with a hazel arch opening to a clay paved courtyard with peach trees. Rose pillars lead to herbaceous beds and there are quiet shaded areas bordered by fuchsias, azaleas and rhododendrons. Owners, Mike and Gail Porter, invite you in...

The covid virus destroyed so much of our normal day to day life but can not destroy the beauty of nature and your faithfulness to your charity. Your garden looks beautiful and the amount of work and dedication is admirable. Only thing missing is the delectable smells

[@junejenkins1947]

What a truly beautiful garden. Thank you.

[@nspector]

Thank you so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've been watching National Garden Scheme video tours for many months now, but this one today, I cannot express what it meant to me at this moment. Marvelous garden that gave me ideas about new possibilities -- the way the grass in that one section is so irregular, I never would have thought that could work, but it does! A funny thing to point out in such a beautiful garden, I know, but that was a small revelation to me. I'm in the US, so I may never have gotten to see any of these lovely and loved British gardens without these video tours. I'd give them back in a second for us all not to have experienced this last year, and the continued catastrophic effects, of course. Of course. But still I want to thank all the garden owners for these virtual tours. They have helped me keep some thread of hope alive. I have, indeed made a donation to the NGS. I only wish it could have been larger. Much love from New Haven, CT.

Beautiful garden. Love the little seating areas as well as the splendid shrubs and we'll thought out plants. Must have been a lifetime's work

[@nspector]

Yes, it's wonderful, isn't it. It felt to me too like a lifetime's work.

[@margaretmaguire3329]

Just wonderful great to see so many shrubs instead of those mainly perennial borders which can become a bit tiresome but beautiful as well 👍🌺

[@christinezarvis4761]

Just discovered your beautiful garden! I am hoping you can give me some information about the round obelisks with the balls on top. We’re they made especially for you or can they be purchased? They are just what I have been searching for. Thank you.

[@nspector]

I perked up at those too. They don't even need a plant growing through them to be wonderful. Have not seen similar in catalogues, but they may be out there somewhere.

[@christinezarvis4761]

Theirs were made specifically for them, but Harrod’s Horticultural sells some quite similar. They have beautiful things. Wish more of their products were sold in USA.

[@alisonsneed3707]

I’ve never seen so many plants blooming simultaneously! Where is this, what zone?

[@ngsgardens]

Hi Alison this garden is in Cheshire, England and was filmed last summer.
