Himalayan Hut at Minterne Gardens.
Minterne Gardens ~ An addition of an authentic Himalayan Hut. Traditionally these huts were built to provide mountain climbers and trekkers with a safe, comfortable and inviting lodging in which to rest and refuel.
The Head Gardener, Mark Bobin and Maintenance Manager, Mark Mumford constructed the Himalayan Hut from materials sourced entirely from Minterne Garden. Gathering materials close to the area is in keeping with a typical hut construction – in the Himalayas most sites are on steep mountains.
The hut is constructed from stones, rocks & fossils to complete 3 walls; felled Larch from the garden was used for the frame, opening onto a small veranda and a tin roof top it off. A range of rock-loving plants will be introduced into natural crevices in the outer walls including campanula with its blue and rose tints and ferns, all of which will add to the authenticity of the building and provide a rainbow feast for the eyes.
