About

Explore the Gardens

Six acres of diverse garden spaces: an ornamental walled garden with herbaceous borders, a two-acre certified organic food garden supplying the kitchen, a restored Victorian glasshouse, the hot-coloured Potting Shed Border, and the Sunken Garden blending ornamental and edible planting.
