  • The National Trust’s School of Gardening: Caring for Hedges

    Hidcote is an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden with intricately designed outdoor spaces in the rolling Cotswold hills.
    The garden is divided into a series of outdoor rooms, each with its own character. The formality of these rooms melts away as you move through the garden away from the house. An integral aspect of the design as laid out by the American, Major Lawrence Johnston in the early 1900s was the use of hedges to separate spaces. Visit Hidcote on video with Rebecca Bevan to learn hedge care from the experts. The five minute video is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCuT_Cx_dao
