Shaw's Corner's Senior Gardener and dedicated team of volunteers are always busy taking care of this special place. Find out about the work we do year round to look after, maintain and restore.

This month in the garden

November 2024

The garden during November is a lovely place to see admire nature. The trees are alive with colour, the skies emit a golden glow morning and night, and the lawn gets painted with fungi. Here's what our Senior Garderner is working on:

  • Historic hedging plants will be bought and stored in our brand new quarantine area
  • Perennials in the mirror beds are to be lifted and divided to give them a chance to root before Spring
  • Tulips will be planted for a spectacualr spring-time display that is similar to what the Shaw's would have seen.

 

 

Conservation work

The gardens at Shaw's Corner are managed by a Lead Gardener and a dedicated group of volunteers.

As more information comes to light, a long-term project is underway to historically restore the garden back to how Bernard and Charlotte would have known it.

As they progress, you can read about the work here, and on our social channels. Keep checking back for more!
