The formal garden is the most faithful reproduction of an early nineteenth century garden. Formal beds planted with perennials and shrubs, framed by upright privet hedges. This garden also features grand urns planted with colourful exotic species and stylish magnolia trees, alongside tightly clipped shapes in yew and privet, set in paved islands.
The kitchen garden is a combination of vegetable beds and ornamental garden in the English potager garden style. Vegetables and herbs are grown organically in modern raised beds that can be adjusted in height. Hops and columnar apple trees form avenues right across the garden.
The English rose garden is made up of ten arbours with fragrant contemporary bush roses. There are also large perennial borders with cottage perennials and graceful trees whose foliage creates a sheltering roof.
The exhibition garden is remodelled each year with the help of a well-known or amateur gardener. We look forward to a new garden each year that will stimulate and inspire visitors with new ideas that they can apply to their own gardens.
