OUR Friends

Alitex Greenhouses

Founded in 1952, Alitex has grown from its horticultural roots to become the home of beautiful, bespoke greenhouses. Since moving to Torberry Farm in the South Downs, they’ve combined craftsmanship and innovation, manufacturing everything here in the UK. With partnerships like the National Trust Collection and an endorsement from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. they’re proud of their heritage and ongoing creativity.

We were truly honoured when they contacted us to offer us a traditional lean-to glasshouse that was a Chelsea show-piece in 2012. This beautiful glasshouse now takes pride of place on the south wall of the walled garden.

Agriframes

Established in 1970, Agriframes have been specialists in creating stylish, high-quality garden structures for over 50 years. With unrivalled experience as leading designers of classic garden structures.

Agriframes has been part of a family run business for generations, and the brand has been synonymous with stylish and high-quality garden structures for many decades.

Developed in the UK, the attractive tubular construction of their structures offers great strength and stability without visually dominating the planting they are designed to enhance. We love their gothic gazebo..set up in the cutting garden.

Westminister Stone

Westminster Stone is a third generation, family-run business established in 1985. They are unafraid of pushing boundaries, innovating and creating exceptional stone paving and flooring for all to enjoy.

They specialise in Stonecast flagstones and tiles which are world-renowned for the accuracy of their reproduction and meticulous attention to detail, providing instant maturity to any design.

Based on sourced originals, their Stonecast ranges include rarely seen products, which are highly sought after for period properties, restoration projects and designs which seek a traditional ‘aged’ effect. We have used these very flagstones and tiles in three areas of our garden..and plan to keep using them!

Posh Sheds

These are garden buildings that are more than just a cut above the average shed, blending practicality with a touch of luxury, creating spaces that are not just functional but also a visual delight in any garden. Born and bred in Worcestershire’s green embrace, each Posh Shed is handcrafted with a devotion that’s as solid as their build.
We are lucky enough to have found space for one of their ‘Ludlow’ sheds in the cutting garden.

David Austin® Roses

For over 60 years David Austin Roses have been growing roses on their family farm in Shropshire. Today, most of their growing is still carried out by hand, just as it was at the very beginning. Every plant that they sell has been hand-budded, a traditional and intricate skill carried out by their experts millions of times each year. The David Austin Rose breeding programme is one of the largest in the world. All David Austin roses have a collective style and reflect one man’s vision. All have beautiful blooms, and. in most cases, wonderful fragrance held on graceful attractive shrubs. We have many David Austin Roses in the garden and so are excited for this new partnership.
