 Kiftsgate
Court lies just below and within easy walking distance
of Hidcote Manor.
However,
there is a a great contrast between the formality of Hidcote's
famous garden and the imaginative and sensitive planting at
Kiftsgate. The garden has a magnificent location on the edge
of the Cotswolds escarpment with views towards the Malvern
Hills.
The garden's
spectacular site has three levels facing south-west. The
present owners are the third generation of the family who,
over time, have created this wonderful garden.
The unusual
shrubs and plants at Kiftsgate include tree peonies, abutilons,
specie and old-fashioned roses. There is something of interest
throughout the year with a wonderful display of bulbs in the
spring and the superb foliage colour of many rare trees and
shrubs in the autumn.
Kiftsgate
is probably at its best in June and July when the huge array
of roses are in bloom and the borders a bright with splendid
colour variations.
Plant
sales and teas.
