    The Apostle Garden, next to the house, is a relatively new garden made of two symmetrical parterres, each with six yew apostles, and Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ planted in the gaps. The old flowerheads of the hydrangea last through the winter and the plants are then pruned in the spring. The yew will be clipped annually into tight forms.

    Gresgarth Hall sits at the mouth of a wooded valley, with the brook Artle Beck drawing a sweeping curve as it rushes past the house. Dark yew hedges stamp formality near the house and echo the stone walls etched on the hills beyond.

    In this mixed House Border, the
red flowers of Rosa ‘Florence
Mary Morse’ bring early colour alongside the white sprays of Persicaria x fennica ‘Johanniswolke’. The tall, slender annual corncockles are woven through the border plants, and, along with alliums and bronze fennel, help to unify the plantings
and create a naturalistic scene.
