Mount Stewart garden appeal

You've been helping us to restore Mount Stewart. But surrounding land we've recently acquired now needs our attention. Can you support this celebrated place a little more?

We've achieved so much, but there's more to do

Thanks to generous support, we've transformed Mount Stewart, from the beautifully restored Dodo Terrace to the replanted Italian Garden. But 900 acres of surrounding demesne land, including the Walled Garden, recently came into our care, and it's in urgent need of repair.

How the appeal adds up

  • The house has re-opened after an £8 million restoration project
  • There remains 900 acres of demesne land in urgent need of repair
  • Mount Stewart comprises an area approximately 167 hectares in size

Bringing the gardens to life

Help the Rose Garden bloom again

We want to reinstate the historic urns and pathways in the newly-acquired walled garden, and to rebuild the pergola and plant an array of scented period roses.

Help revive the Vinery glasshouse

We plan to restore the Vinery glasshouse in the Walled Garden back to its former glory. It will provide a safe home for a planned collection of rare soft fruits and Northern Ireland’s oldest vine.

For everyone, for ever.
