4 Nightingale Mews, Locks Heath, near Southampton
A new opening for the NGS this year, Mrs Kath Stratton’s garden is three miles west of Fareham, and won a gold award for hanging and wall baskets in Fareham in Bloom. It’s a very colourful steeply sloping terraced garden 65ftx75ft, established over five years and divided into varied sections including a shady white garden with a water feature. A shelled gazebo at the top has stunning views of the striking planting, sculptures and planted roof garden. A lower patio, with hanging baskets and pots, has seats to see different perspectives of trees and shrubs in the tiered garden.
