The Arena of Plants area in the Walled Gardens is now taking shape. The gravel paths have been relaid and beds and been planted. Plants are taking shape as the weather warms up.
The Holkham Walled Garden extends to six and a half acres, so planting is on a grand scale. April 1st and the gardeners are planting hundreds of herbaceous perennials of every shape, size and hue. These will form a swathe of colour and texture in the first room that visitors enter as they walk through the wrought iron gates of the garden.
