Gertrude Jekyll's Garden, Upton Grey Manor House

Gertrude Jekyll's Garden is an early 20th century garden surrounding the Manor House at Upton Grey in the English county of Hampshire

Gertrude Jekyll drew plans for a four and a half acre garden at the Manor House in Upton Grey in 1907. On this site she drew up one of her most picturesque gardens. It includes many features of a typical Jekyll garden but is much smaller scale than the majority of her other commissions.

To the west of the house is the Wild garden. Some of Jekyll's original drifts of daffodils remain at the end of the Wild Garden, still in the drifts she designed.

To the east of the house stands there is the formal garden. Here there are no curved lines, Jekyll designed a Rose Lawn and typical herbaceous borders whose colours run in drifts from cool to hot and the return to cool again. These, with the tennis and bowling lawns are enclosed in yew hedging.

Outside the hedging lies the nuttery, orchard, kitchen garden, stable cottage and cottage beds.

The whole of the garden has been faithfully restored to the many plans and plants that Jekyll prescribed. The garden fell into disrepair and was only restored in 1986. It is visitable by appointment only.
