Behind the Pergola: what's looking good in the gardens
Find out what's looking good in the gardens this June at Hestercombe - we explore the varieties found behind Lutyens' pergola.
Notice
Due to staff shortages in our catering team (congratulations to our Head Chef who has just gone on paternity leave), over the weekends of the 11th/12th and 18th/19th May we will be serving BBQ food only from outside our Stables Restaurant, as well as cakes, sandwiches and ice cream in our cafe. A limited menu will also be available from Monday to Friday over the next two weeks. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Visitors to Hestercombe will have often walked along the Pergola behind Jekyll's Great Plat, and enjoyed the sweet scents of summer lavender amongst other beautiful seasonal blooms. But tucked away just behind here is a walkway covered in a great variety of plants and flowers which may have eluded many so far. Here's what's looking good in this particular part of the gardens this month.
