The Water Gardens

Hemel Hempstead

The Water Gardens restoration preserves a rare and highly significant example of mid twentieth century design by renowned landscape architect Geoffrey Jellicoe

The project creates a revitalised and well-used park with a serpentine woodland walk along the River Gade contrasted with smooth flowing grass lawns to the water's edge on the other side of the river. The centrepiece of the Water Gardens is its restored flower garden, with massed roses and colourful perennial planting set within a formal grid of beds.
