The second opening of this season will be the Garden of Lorna and John Reid, 3 Cedar Lane, Station Road, Craigavad, Holywood BT18 0BW

This true plantsman's garden is situated within the original estate of the historic Lorne House, built in 1875 by Henry Campbell, a wealthy linen merchant. This beautiful garden comprises formal planted beds containing a wide variety of perennials and shrubs, including rhododendrons and azaleas. A sweeping path leads to a wooden area containing a wide range of mature specimen trees planted in the Victorian era. Under the tree canopy grows a variety of wild flowers including slipper orchids, anemone, and bluebells. One of the features of the garden is the walk along the Glen River with a number of charming waterfalls.
