As I tend to revisit Hever Castle regularly, I have
created this second page to avoid the delays of downloading too many thumbnails

Hever Castle Spring 2006 The spring
display at Hever unfolds gradually between the months of March until May. Every
month there are new displays to see some in a natural setting and others
planted in beds for maximum effect. The progression is from carpets of
snowdrops and crocus, followed by daffodils, pansies hyacinths and camellias
and finally late tulips, rhododendrons, azaleas and wisteria.
We are
then ready to commence again with the varied summer bedding |

Hever Castle Spring 2007 When William
Waldorf Astor bought Hever Castle in 1903, there had already been some attempts
at creating a garden around the castle. The last tenants Captain and Mrs.
Sebright, had , in about 1900, already commissioned Joseph Cheal and Son to lay
out the gardens around the castle. However their work did not fit in with great
scheme envisaged by Astor and their work disappeared, to be replaced between
1904 and 1908 as we see them today.
