About 38 The Clump

A Plantsman’s Garden of Discovery

Step into a garden that celebrates the unusual, where every turn reveals something distinctive and memorable. Thoughtfully designed, this living gallery showcases remarkable specimens such as Cardiandra formosana, Cercidiphyllum ‘Rotfuchs’, and Hemiboea subcapita, each chosen to intrigue and delight those with a passion for horticulture.
The rear garden unfolds in five distinct areas, each with its own atmosphere and planting style, offering visitors a journey through variety and discovery. Two spaces frame a gentle stream and tranquil pond, where trees and shrubs create a natural sanctuary that invites quiet reflection. The mingling of water and birdsong enhances the sense of serenity, making this part of the garden a retreat from everyday life.

Elsewhere, paths lead through borders and beds where unusual shrubs and trees are arranged to highlight their unique forms, foliage, and seasonal interest. Modern sculptures are thoughtfully placed throughout, adding a contemporary artistic dimension that complements the living collection. These striking focal points invite visitors to pause and admire the interplay of art and nature.

Whether you are a dedicated plantsman eager to encounter unusual species, an art enthusiast drawn to sculptural installations, or someone seeking a peaceful escape, this garden offers a rich and rewarding experience. It is a place where horticultural expertise meets aesthetic vision, where water, plants, and art combine to create harmony, and where every visit reveals new details to appreciate.
