Gardens & Park
Garden, Park, Follies and Outbuildings
Hidcote is one of the most inventive and influential gardens of the 20th century and one of England’s great gardens. It was designed and created in the Arts & Crafts style by the horticulturist Major Lawrence Johnston and is arranged as a series of outdoor rooms, each with a different character and separated by walls and hedges of many different species. The garden is famous for its rare shrubs and trees, outstanding herbaceous borders, and unusual plant species from all over the world. Johnston and his mother, Gertrude Winthrop, bought Hidcote Manor in 1907. After moving into the House Johnston began a program of 40 years' work on the garden. An enthusiastic plant collector, he sponsored and undertook several expeditions in South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa to bring back rare specimens.
