Troutbeck BridgeJust north of this little village, in the valley of Trout Beck, lies the Lakeland Horticultural Society's four-acre garden at Holehird. In 1945, Edward Leigh Groves bequeathed the mansion and the estate "for the better development of the health, education and social welfare services of the County of Westmoreland". Some time later, the Lakeland Horticultural Society took over responsibility for the garden, which is still run by volunteers of that society, whose primary aim is to promote "knowledge of the cultivation of plants, shrubs and trees, especially those suited to Lakeland conditions". Highlights include the borders in the walled garden, the many specimen trees, the summer and autumn heathers and the National Collections of astilbes and hydrangeas. |
