New Gardens with Historic Themes |
| The Trust's Conservation Committee has supported the creation of new gardens at different locations throughout Hampshire: |
 |
The
Porter's Garden, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Since Spring 2000 the Friends of the Porter's Garden have been planning, digging and planting this historic garden situated in Portsmouth Dockyard. The flower beds follow principles of eighteenth century design. Exotic and useful plants commerate voyages of naval exploration and plant-finding. Herbs for everyday ailments link the garden to /Mary Rose/ and /Victory/. Two wrought iron gates made by Peter Clutterbuck, with the yew hedge, complete the enclosed feel of the original Porter’s Garden site. Sculptor Roger Stephens installed three sculptured granite seats in 2005. Each has the shape of the cross section of the hull of one of the three historic ships, /Mary Rose/, /HMS Victory/ and /HMS Warrior 1860/. |
