The Gardens

By accounts • 23 Jan, 2020

I am looking forward to showing the Gardens off this year to you all . The 22'000 new bulbs will start showing at the end of January and I can't wait for you to see my new project. I have called it Butterfly Valley. It includes a lake, a mix of perennial wildflowers to adorn the valley sides and I hope this will be completed before Summer! So many more ideas yet, but I have been told to keep them to myself for now........ The Gardens are FREE to enjoy now until the end of February, perfect for a winters walk. From March the cost of the day pass will be £5 and the season ticket only £15. Join us as we grow together! Simon

Exciting News...

The SALT PIG finds a New Home here at Holme for Gardens

Two Successful Purbeck businesses are joining forces,

as the Salt Pig from Wareham and Swanage takes over the running of the FARM SHOP at Holme for Gardens

Liz who has managed the FARM SHOP since 2010 will be stepping down to focus back on the gardening side of Holme, helping Simon turn the 15-acre grounds into one of southern England’s loveliest gardens and a haven for nature.

Liz & Simon have decided to let out the Farm Shop to an experienced and successful local food retailer who shared the same ethos in terms of standards, customer service, and sustainability. The Salt Pig with their two existing urban Farm Shops, local sourcing and friendly customer relations was the perfect fit.

Simon says ‘I am excited about this agreement as it will be good for both businesses and for customers by improving choice and local provenance. With Liz having more time, we will be able to focus on developing our very popular ORCHARD CAFE, the GARDENS and GARDEN CENTRE.

The Salt Pig brand is all about quality food, locally produced, and served by friendly people. It will be offering a selection of their delicious food to eat in and to takeaway.
