Perennial – the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping people who work in horticulture when times get tough. Perennial has partnered with Glendale, Rollins Bulldog, Travis Perkins, Bradstone and internationally acclaimed, RHS Gold medal-winning garden designer Paul Hervey-Brookes, to create the Perennial Legacy Garden.
The garden is designed to reflect elements of a large English country estate. It features long herbaceous borders, a pavilion for relaxing and enjoying the garden, and a separate walled working garden with gardener’s bothy and nursery beds. The planting palette is a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary herbaceous perennials, taking its inspiration from long mixed borders such as those at Arley Hall and Upton House.
The design demonstrates the important relationship that estate gardens have with their gardeners – those who work tirelessly to plant, train and maintain them – and Perennial’s foundations in 1839, which lie firmly in the great country gardens and estates of Great Britain. It also serves to highlight the unique role Perennial continues to play in helping all horticulturists in times of need. As well as reflecting the past, the garden looks to the future as Perennial launches its brand new Legacy Fundraising Strategy. Legacies are a joyful, life driven gift. This garden is a gift; an unconditional exemplar of teamwork from experts and professionals who have come together to support the charity that offers hope to an industry charged with keeping the UK green and beautiful for generations to come.
