Homestead Garden

The Homestead Garden is 1.5ha and extends from the Visitor Centre to the Homestead and across to the Black Gates. Planting in the garden was piece meal at first, but in 1926, the garden expansion began with an area close to the house being reworked and "Thousands of Tulips, Hyacinths and Peonies were imported from Holland and broad herbaceous borders were made and planted, the slopes at the sides being planted in shrubs". The bulbs never survived the East Coast environment and today the garden is filled with large mass plantings of herbaceous material and annual displays.
