By Kind Permisson of Lady Rothermere

Lady Rothermere has very kindly opened Ferne Park to Dorset Gardens Trust again this year, especially requested by Members who were unable to visit last time.

Lady Rothermere and Rupert Golby originally designed the garden around Quinlan Terry’s classical house at Ferne. Double avenues of limes stretch to the hills and garden rooms of clipped hedges, decorated with standard Wisterias, echo the architecture of the house. An immaculate potager, a decorative orchard, a cascade into a lake and a minimalist swimming pool, are among the many delights of this magnificent garden.
