Ian LeGros Curator RHS Garden Hyde Hall

I joined the Hyde Hall team as an untrained assistant gardener in 1992, was promoted to Garden Superintendent in April 2005 and then to Curator in June 2006. Over the years I have been lucky enough to play a lead role in many of Hyde Hall’s landmark projects including setting out the Farmhouse Garden, the redevelopment of the Queen Mother’s Garden, and the creation of the Millennium Avenue and Wild Wood. Most recently I helped to co-design the new Robinson Garden which was opened in 2007.

The work will provide Hyde Hall with a new approach road, car park, and garden entrance building within a new landscape scheme.  The new facilities will be open to visitors next summer, but meanwhile it's ‘business as usual'. The building works are taking place to the north of the site, well away from the existing garden, but the progress of works can be seen from the main Hilltop Garden at several viewing points.
