ALL the colours and smells of a Mediterranean garden can be enjoyed at a new attraction at the National Trust’s Beningbrough Hall near York.
The work is the vision of award-winning garden designer Andy Sturgeon who has been collaborating with the Trust on its eight-acre garden at Beningbrough since 2016.
The new Mediterranean Garden is the largest phase of his garden project to open and has been created to cope with the challenges of a changing climate.
Once an underused grassed area, the garden now features more than 4,000 herbaceous perennials, grasses, trees and shrubs from Mediterranean climate zones around the world, including South Africa, South Korea, Chile, China, Australia and, the Mediterranean itself .
