Highfield Farm Garden

Jenny and Roger Lloyd’s garden at Highfield Farm is a garden defined by its plants. There are over 1,400 varieties and cultivars, with many rarities, densely planted to generate an exuberant display across the seasons. It provides an intimate, immersive experience and a real tactile and spiritual connection with this diverse array of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees.

There are narrow walks through tall perennials and shrubs, and wispy pastel-coloured perennials and grasses are planted in gravel. There is an experimental collection of hot and tender plants, a garden of 8ft giants, a classic shrub and perennial garden, including a hydrangea collection, a naturalised wild section, late summer quadrants of asters and grasses and a new ‘madness garden’ opened in 2022.

Jenny and Roger moved to Highfield Farm in 2017 – the house where Jenny had grown up. They had previously opened their garden in Cheshire for charity and wanted to do the same at Highfield. Within two years of starting the garden, they had opened under the National Garden Scheme, and have since raised over £40,000 for the charity between their two gardens.

Highfield hosts a fine collection of shrubs, including dogwoods and hydrangeas, the latter being a passion of Roger’s that was ignited during the four years they lived in America. It is a garden for all seasons but with real impact in late spring and high summer. It also provides fabulous panoramic views of north Monmouthshire.
