Ever wondered how much of Melbourne Hall’s garden has stood the test of time? 🌿

Our Head Gardener, David, takes us back to 1704 as he talks us through one of the original plans for the garden and compares it with the layout we see today. 🗺️✨

From the original fountains and basin to the famous yew tunnel and beautiful topiary, so many incredible features have remained. ⛲

It’s a fascinating glimpse into how the garden has grown and developed over more than 300 years. 🌿⏳

Come and explore Melbourne Hall for yourself this summer and see these incredible historic features before the gardens close for the season. 🌳💚
