The Bond family bought Upton Wold in 1973 when no garden even existed. Only a few old apple trees, an ancient Yew and the most incredible views greeted them.

With their enthusiasm, vision and the help of the renowned landscape architects, Hal Moggeride and Brenda Colvin, a series of Yew hedges were laid out, borders created, terraces built, greenhouses erected and trees and shrubs planted.

Over the years new parts of the garden have been developed and include such elements as a contemporary rill border, a crabapple tunnel, two kitchen gardens, labyrinth, pool gardens, island woodland borders, arboretum and the National Collection of Walnuts and Wingnuts.

The owners continue to plant rare and interesting plants, often wild collected. Many cuttings are also taken to ensure they are not lost.
