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.

Looking good at Hyde Hall

Posted by Ian LeGros on 05 Oct 2009 at 04:32 PM

There's still loads of colour around at the moment with many perrenials, grasses and trees putting on a good show.

Some of my favourites include:

  • Malus 'Golden Hornet' - in the Gold Border
  • Aster 'Little Carlow' -  Herbaceous Border
  • Sedum 'Herbstfreude' - Clover Hill
  • Helianthus 'Lemon Queen' - Queen Mother's Garden

My wife, sister and I were at Hyde Hall yesterday, and really enjoyed it. As you say, the Autumn colours are beautiful; the Malus are loaded with glowing berries, the Asters are brilliant, and there's a lovely collection of grasses. Youngsters will enjoy the magical plants tour. The huge fish in the pond are tame, and enjoy being fed (is that OK?). We were fascinated by the Medlar tree, hadn't seen it before. We also had a pleasant lunch in the restaurant, and had retail therapy in the shop. Clearly a lot of work in progress, but a worthwhile trip.
