Holehird Gardens, Botanical garden in Windermere, England.
The ten-acre garden contains extensive rock formations, heather beds, alpine houses, and a walled garden with herbaceous borders near Lake Windermere.
The garden originated in the 1860s as private grounds of a mansion, with landscape architect Thomas Mawson expanding the design in 1902.
The Lakeland Horticultural Society maintains three National Collections, including Astilbe, Hydrangeas, and Polystichum ferns within the gardens.
Access to the gardens requires a suggested donation of £5 per adult, with volunteer staff available from 10am to 4pm between April and October.
A natural stream runs through the property, contributing to the garden design and supporting plant species adapted to high rainfall conditions.
