5- acres of mixed planting, sympathetic to rural outlook. Over 500 varieties of perennials with mass planting. Exciting group combination in island bends and deep borders, results in a garden flowing with stunning colour. Approaching the woodland and lake, natural planting attracts an array of wildlife. Adjacent nursery. Picnic area.
Further details:This plantaholic's 5 acre garden is a place for visitors to linger for many hours. Filled with an extensive range of perennials, interspaced by small trees and shrubs, planted in both island beds and borders up to 40 feet deep. This affords us the opportunity to plant a few varieties that could be considered a little too large for some gardens, including Persicaria Polymorpha with Cotinus Coggygria Royal Purple(AGM), Stipa gigantea Gold Fontaene, Inula Magnifica, Bidens hetrerophylla and hannays Lemon Drop, Rudbeckia lacinata Herbstsonne(AGM). The visitor can relax in the shade of Betula Jacquemontii, secluded by Cornus alba Aurea(AGM), and spend time in quiet reflection or be dazzled by the vibrant display of 100 dahlias, spectacular in late summer.
An island bed of conifer and grasses is interspersed with Bishop of Llandaff(AGM) adding zing amongst the elegant waving seed-heads of the grasses.
Move into a second garden enclosed by borders of perennials leading to shrub roses and a hidden path through a pagoda of climbing roses and honeysuckles, evoking perfumed memories of yester-year.
Through the gate and on to two more beds where colourful planting gives way to paths through trees, shrubs and grasses taking us finally to the wildlife area. Here we can picnic or just sit and watch swallows swoop over the small lake and listen to the wind as it rustles through the bluebell wood.
Visitors also welcome by appt May to Aug, coaches permitted, groups 10+.
