Week 4 31st March: Heale Garden, Salisbury

Heale, at Middle Woodford just north of Salisbury is a glorious garden of nine acres, surrounding a house that remains largely unchanged since King Charles II hid here in 1651. The timeless atmosphere of the gardens at Heale is the result of the creative endeavours of Harold Peto, who originally designed the gardens in 1906 and many generations of the Rasch family, each who have left their mark. A chalk stream, well stocked with trout, runs through the gardens and under an authentic Japanese tea house. There is a varied collection of plants, shrubs, musk and other roses growing in the formal setting of clipped hedges and mellow stonework.Before her marriage, Frances Rasch worked as a restorer specialising in gilding, lacquer work and painted furniture. During her early years at Heale Anna Pavord acted as Frances’s mentor, before she completed a course at The English Gardening School with Rosemary Alexander. Frances is currently a member of The RHS’s herbaceous committee. She is actively involved in promoting plants, judging at shows and working on the trials.
