Description: Gardens and gardening in Northamptonshire and beyond
Swiss Garden, Old Warden, Bedfordshire. All images copyright Hilary Scott unless stated
IT’S a curiosity, that’s for sure. A nine-acre landscaped garden based on a Regency fondness for all things Swiss.
Swiss Garden, between Bedford and Biggleswade, has a ferny grotto, thatched hideaways on handmade hills, a whole load of 150-year-old fake stonework and a meandering stream with precarious humped bridges.
