About 6 High Street

The front garden displays irises and restios. In the courtyard there are hostas in pots and fig trees. Rear garden has a lawn with surrounding borders and views. Unusual plants, many with black or bronze foliage, are planted in drifts, repeated throughout the garden including varieties of Heuchara. Rounded and vertical close clipped plants give added structure and harmony to the oriental effect.
In February snowdrops, Hellebores and Iris reticulata contrast with the clipped shapes and black foliage.
