Description:
Our walled gardens, developed over the last 8 years, comprise a series of themed spaces designed to provide year-round interest. Explore our perennial meadow with swaying grasses and fruit trees; our two cutting gardens of fresh blooms and grasses and seed heads for drying. See our artist-in-residence's beautiful botanical casts. We have incredible edibles in the potager; a productive polytunnel full of tender crops; light and dark borders with plants selected for their foliage, colour and textural qualities and a wildlife area with willow tunnels, a stumpery and lily pond. Do come and wander, sit, observe and enjoy. There is so much to see!
