A welcome message from Rob Brett, Curator
Welcome to RHS Garden Hyde Hall. Often a surprise find for visitors to Essex, but for regular guests, its extraordinary evolution always offers something new to be enjoyed. Set in a landscape of rolling hills and with beatific panoramic views, Hyde Hall is an oasis of peace and tranquillity though only 30 minutes from North London.
Since its inception in the mid-1950s, this vast garden has established from a handful of trees atop a windy hill to a jewel in the landscape that embraces superb ornamental horticulture, wild woodlands, majestic meadows and stylish gardens that embrace new ways of thinking about our world and our future. From global produce to dry climates, winter wonders, courtyard gardens and arboreta, Hyde Hall delivers something for everyone.
So much of what we have achieved at Hyde Hall has been reliant on fundraising, and I would like to say a huge thank you to our members, visitors, donors and charitable foundations and for their generosity and support. Hyde Hall is truly becoming a garden for the nation.
