Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Gardens, Hyde Hall, Essex: This windswept garden, which is maintained to the highest standard by the RHS, displays a wide variety of horticultural styles. These range from naturalistic planting of grasses and perennials, an acclaimed dry garden built on this most challenging of sites, wide herbaceous borders, a small lake with surrounding planting, a moist dell garden and formal rose beds. Details: Although the main cultivated part of this 360 acre garden is perched on a windswept mound overlooking agricultural land in the East Anglia area of the UK with very low rain fall (e.g. 24 inches or 600 mm in a typical year), by choosing suitable windbreaks and the ‘right plant for the right place’ the RHS has produced an expertly maintained garden with a long season of interest and with plants that do very well in each of the micro-climates present on the site. This photo shows yellow achilleas and lime green euphorbias looking out over the surrounding landscape. The photos in this set represent some of the horticultural styles present in the garden and show what can be achieved even on a dry, windswept site. Location: Rettendendon, Chelmsford, Essex, CM3 8AT, UK.
