Ushaw Shortlisted for Historic Houses Garden of the Year Award 2024

We’ve been shortlisted for Historic Houses Garden of the Year Award! 

Since 2017, volunteers have been bringing the derelict gardens back to life. Known for its Rhododendrons, our gardens had become dominated by them at the expense of other features. From 2017 to 2021 the gardeners achieved the renovation without the aid of any decent machinery; everything was moved by hand.

The objective is to provide spaces within the gardens for people of all ages and abilities.

The Garden of the Year Award, sponsored by Christie’s, recognises the importance of some of the country’s most spectacular gardens with outstanding horticultural and public appeal.

Voting closes on Saturday 31 August 2024.
