New Gardens with Historic Themes |
| The Trust's Conservation Committee has supported the creation of new gardens at different locations throughout Hampshire: |
 |
Westbury Manor Garden, Fareham |
|
| The large windows at the back of Westbury Manor Museum look out onto the Victorian style public garden which was funded by Fareham Borough Council and Hampshire County Council. The design of the garden is loosely based on the 1850's when there was a great interest in garden design and when many new plants were being introduced into this country from far flung places across the world. The garden is laid out as a compass rose with England (the house) at its centre with plants from South East Asia, the Pacific, China, and North America in the borders. Many of these plants may be familiar to the keen gardener of today but were new and exciting in the 19th century. The garden contains many of the features associated with Victorian gardens such as a Cottage Garden, Ribbon Borders, circular island beds, Rose Beds and Rose arbour, gravel walks, urns, and a sundial. |  |
