This garden is divided into different rooms – each with its own theme.


The back garden is dominated by large trees under-planted with shade loving plants and sunnier areas accommodating colour-themed perennials.

A lower terrace contains a wildlife pond and bog garden with ferns and astilbes.

Pathways link different zones and lead to an enchanted child’s garden and play area.

The front garden includes a formal white garden, rose border and cutting garden. Seating areas are interspersed throughout the garden offering shady and sunny vantage points.

It opens from 10.30am to 5pm with admission at £5 and donations for children’s admission.
