A Garden Lover's Paradise: Home Farm Ryhall Opens for NGS
Ryhall, Rutland – This weekend, garden enthusiasts are invited to immerse themselves in the horticultural splendour of Home Farm in Ryhall (PE9 4HA) as it opens its gates for the National Garden Scheme (NGS). Offering a rare glimpse into a private nine-acre estate, this event promises a captivating experience for all.
The NGS Open Garden at Home Farm will be open from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on both Saturday, June 21st, and Sunday, June 22nd, 2025. Admission is £5 for adults, with children enjoying free entry.
Home Farm is a testament to thoughtful design and a passion for plants, having been adapted to thrive in drier conditions while retaining a charming, traditional farmhouse feel. Visitors will be greeted by an impressive collection of more than 100 roses, including many old English fragrant varieties that will be at their peak this time of year. A picturesque lavender avenue provides a sensory delight, while striking displays of delphiniums add vibrant splashes of colour.
The garden's diversity is a key highlight, featuring a Mediterranean border with an aged olive tree and a new "hot and more" border specifically designed for drier climates. Nature lovers will appreciate the wildflower meadow, a haven where rare butterflies have been spotted, along with a serene woodland walk. For those interested in homegrown produce, a fruit cage and vegetable garden showcase productive cultivation.
One of the most appealing features is the large terrace overlooking the garden, offering far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside – a perfect spot for enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the estate.
The National Garden Scheme is a well-respected charity that opens exceptional private gardens across the UK to raise money for nursing and health charities. By visiting Home Farm, you'll not only enjoy a spectacular garden but also contribute to a worthy cause that supports vital care services.
Whether you're seekng inspiration for your own garden, a peaceful escape into nature, or simply a delightful day out, Home Farm Ryhall offers a truly memorable experience this weekend.
