Glorious Gardens Hanford Prep School
About
Come and explore Hanford Prep Ground and enjoy an afternoon Tea, in aid of St.Margaret's HospiceHanford is a vibrant and unique school in Dorset for girls aged 7 to 13. Mrs Canning, who founded the school with her husband in the 1940s, always wanted Hanford to work just like a family, encouraging freedom of thought, individual development and mutual respect and trust. These principles have been upheld ever since: we want all the children to feel at home here, with the freedom to roam around the grounds, make dens, climb trees and ride horses in their free time.
Hanford’s 45 acres of grounds comprising orchards, fields, walled kitchen garden and stables provides many opportunities for sustainability. Wildflowers grow along borders of paths and in the walled garden to support pollinators and provide habitats for wildlife. The Grounds Team cultivate plants from their own seeds and propagate from cuttings. The variety of plants improves biodiversity in the grounds and garden, and girls are encouraged to learn valuable gardening and horticulture skills.
