Schoolhouse Gardens is nestled in Northumberland Hills not far from the village of Warkworth. In 1942 the school yard won the Grounds Improvement Award. Then in 1987, Dennis and Tom (present owners) embarked on creating a park. The gardens now encompass just over 4 acres and our collection of peonies now number almost 300 varieties. Last June we won a trophy at the Canadian Peony Show in Winnipeg for the Best hybrid peony at the show, along with 3 Grand champion ribbons. The gardens were also featured in a glossy garden book, Private Gardens of Northumberland. A vast renovation of the gardens include plantings of many new hostas, daylilies, perennials, trees and shrubs. Garden tours available by reservation only.
