Roam through 45 acres of gardens and grounds at Hanford – a school for girls near Blandford Forum. Orchards, fields, and a characterful walled kitchen garden are waiting to be explored at Hanford. Wildflowers grow along borders of paths and in the walled garden to support pollinators and provide important habitats for local wildlife. The grounds team cultivate plants from their own seeds and propagate from cuttings, striving to improve biodiversity. The grounds are a key part of the school’s education programme – pupils are encouraged to learn valuable gardening and horticulture skills and are welcome to make dens, climb trees, and ride horses in their free time.
