Veddw House – a modern romantic garden

Located deep in the heart of Monmouthshire, Veddw House Garden has been created through more than 20 years of patient work by Anne Wareham and Charles Hawes. Anne was recently described in the Telegraph as one of Britain’s most influential gardeners.

“This is one of my favourite top ten in the world!” Charlotte Weychan

“Anne and Charles have slowly built up an extraordinarily ambitious and idiosyncratic landscape. Rich and delicate in its detail, intense in its execution, it is now one of Britain’s more original gardens.” Tim Richardson, The Telegraph, January 2005

The garden is set in the wonderful countryside of the Welsh border above Tintern. There are two acres of ornamental garden and two acres of woodland. A notable addition to the garden is the dramatic reflecting pool.

The local landscape of rolling hills is reflected in the sinuous hedges that lead to the pool and provide the perfect backdrop for other planting schemes.

Anne has a great interest in the history of the local landscape and has incorporated this into the garden design, in particular a large parterre of grasses in a pattern of box hedges based on the local Tithe Map of 1842.

Veddw House Garden is starred in The Good Garden Guide and is open to the public. Coach parties are welcome by appointment. Combine a visit to us with a visit to nearby High Glanau, Helena Gerrish’s garden. For more details and opening times please see Visitor Information.
