I brought my bucket home and sat in the garden with a glass of prosecco and arranged them in a vase, they looked stunning.Thanks again and I will definitely be back!”Dawn

Members of:
The principle beds are quite narrow – the main feature is the different climbing roses with Viticella climbing up between them from late May onwards.
We have a vibrant mix of colour throughout the summer months – with Alliums, Wallflowers and Foxgloves starting the colour season off, followed by the Roses and then Dahlias and bedding plants.
The original walled vegetable garden was set out in the Edwardian times, when there was a household to feed as well as a large resident house staff. In our redesign, we initially removed the Iris borders which edged the whole area, with gravel and a liner to make the beds more accessible.
To keep the garden as authentic as possible we did not add any raised beds, but included some bark paths to divide up the huge beds – to make them more manageable. We love to mix flowers in amongst the vegetables to brighten up the overall appearance. We no longer have young children at home, and hence we have changed the layout of the lawns so that two thirds of the garden is now used for growing flowers to provide additional space to grow a wider variety of flowers to cater for our pick your own visitors for weddings and other events.
