Marks Hall Estate

Outline: Over 40,000 visitors a year come to explore Marks Hall Estate’s world-class arboretum, taste homecooked food and delicious cakes at Orchard Kitchen, and browse the plant centre and shop. Marks Hall Estate has been a favourite of senior citizens for many years, but of late has seen an increase in young families coming to enjoy Japanese maple gardens and lakes that feature many easily walkable paths.

Solution: Barlow Tyrie has been an essential supplier to Marks Hall Estate for more than 20 years, regularly supplying memorial benches, with plaques and inscriptions, for those that wish to remember loved ones at their favourite walking spots. Marks Hall Estate continues to choose Barlow Tyrie for the quality of its benches. “They do last a long while!” says arboretum manager, Ian Chandler. “Barlow Tyrie benches fit into our location well, and it’s important to select local companies to supply products, as we have our own environmental policy which puts, at its heart, sustainability.” Farmed teak furniture is the ideal seating option to mitigate the output of CO2 as well as act as a carbon trap. Trees cut down to make Barlow Tyrie furniture are replaced. Ian continues, “We grow trees from around the world here at Marks Hall Estate. We want to ensure as many of our suppliers as possible share our values while offering visitors a nice place to sit, enjoy the scenery, and remember loved ones.”
