In the farthest corner of the grounds from the house, Ham House’s Wilderness Garden is surrounded by a mile of high hornbeam hedge which will soon be bursting into life. Here, you can take a meandering or circular walk, to find your own space to stop and enjoy.
Look for signs of spring
Follow the criss-cross of curvaceous mown paths and once inside, you’ll discover plantings of native wild flowers.
New plantings of wild daffodils and species tulips are beginning to show among the winter aconites, primroses, snowdrops and snake's head fritillaries.
All are overlooked by rows of field maple trees that give the area its dappled shade and woodland feel.
