National Gardening Day

This National Gardening Day, we’re looking at some of the loveliest gardens available on OnTheMarket and how you can make the most of your space.

Monday 14th April is National Gardening Day, encouraging people to get outside and make the most of their outdoor space. This year, we want to celebrate the UK’s flora, fauna and talented landscapers by sharing some of the incredible gardens available to buy right now.

Gardens can come in all shapes and sizes, from a few plant pots on a balcony to acres of woodland. Here’s a small selection with a few tips and tricks to keep your garden blooming.

Weir House

Weir House is a stunning home with an even more stunning garden. The house itself is surrounded by tiled terraces, well-stocked borders and sloping lawns. Walking further through the luscious green grass, you’ll find some steps leading to a secret garden with wooden decking and bridges over a bubbling brook. Beyond this seating area sits a beautifully laid out vegetable garden, with raised beds and fruit trees.

The perfect garden for the green-fingered, Weir House offers an incredible opportunity for those looking to prune, mow, plant, reap and enjoy some quiet time.

Harvist Road

While considerably smaller, this terraced house in London has created a stylish and functional space. With the colourful tiles and walls, climbing plants and raised beds, it’s a space we’d love to spend time in. With a fire pit and stone pizza oven, the space is ideal for entertaining friends and family.

The Alms House

A lot of work has gone into landscaping these impressive grounds to create several compartments, each featuring their own seating areas to enjoy different views of the garden while entertaining.

Sit by the well-manicured lawns to enjoy the mature shrubs and trees. Or sit by the summerhouse to enjoy the fountain and mature wisteria. If you want to watch the wildlife in the pond, you can choose between the gravel terrace or the thatched gazebo. If you want to get involved with the garden, you can tend your vegetables in the traditional greenhouse and raised beds.

Arlington Road

In London, this garden has been professionally landscaped to make the most of the space. By splitting the garden in two with raised beds and topiary, the garden has multiple uses and allows for both chilled drinks on the sofa and al fresco dining. The Crittal style full width doors allow the space to create a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining area.

Flint Cottage

Flint Cottage enjoys a south-easterly garden, with plenty of privacy thanks to the mature trees and bushes around the border, backing onto meadows. To maximise the use of their garden, the owners have created a “summer garden” with plenty of windows to look out to the lush garden and let the light in.

Lavender House

We love how many outside seating areas there are at Lavender House. From the balcony looking over the garden, and the kitchen terrace to the sunken firepit in the garden. There are several spots in this property that we would love to snuggle into to enjoy a morning cup of tea or a sunset cocktail.

With different tiers, the garden is filled with different colours and textures, including lawns, wildflower meadows and terraces.
