A mile north of Windermere the town, Holehird Gardens is a demonstration garden and the seat of the Lakeland Horticultural society.
The garden has plants that do well in the Lake District’s stony soils and damp climate, and has Alpine houses, rock and heather gardens and a lovely walled garden noted for its herbaceous borders.
Thomas Mawson was also involved here at the end of the 19th century, enlarging the Walled Garden, which had first been built in 1870.
