The National Trust manages to balance public access with conservation. They oversee almost one million works of art, more than 500 historical ancient flower garden monuments, parks, houses and castles, and over 248,000 hectares of land including 775 miles of UK coast. They conserve pubs, mills, villages, nature reserves, farmland, moorland, islands, archeological remains, beaches and forests.
In Glouchester the National Trust takes care of Hidcote Gardens. This is an Arts and Crafts style garden using a series of outdoor rooms to delight with powerful and unexpected colour and intricate designs. Quiet corners are carved out for a moment of reflection. Ornate benches provide a perch for the naturalist to engage in birdwatching, as the buzzards fly overhead and the brilliant green woodpeckers hound the trees for their choice insects. Stay long enough and there is always a chance of spotting a hummingbird moth.
This is the right garden to seek inspiration for a home garden, or your next novel.
The gardens provide intricate paths winding off into the wilderness. Towering trees overhead make for a secluded spot for picnics. Watch for the stone cottages along the paths that once housed the gardeners for the grounds. They still sport their traditional thatched roof, and remarkably charming impression.
Some properties managed by the National Trust are able to fund themselves so there is never an issue with their preservation on a permanent basis. Others require support from other properties or from the Trust itself. If you are considering a gift, or a walk about a garden path, consider Hidcote Gardens and the formal flower beds in Gloucester.
