Three quite different, adjacent gardens on an easy walking trail. Winterfield is a long-established plantsman's garden, full of uncommon shrubs and trees, herbaceous borders, a pond, and a wildlife area. Stumlet has evolved from a 'work in progress' garden into a restful and special space, with places to sit and enjoy a little peace, scent, colour, and interesting planting. The Coppice is a garden to watch as it develops over the coming years, transforming from a newly designed and partially planted area into an inspirational space. The areas near the house are already planted, offering a glimpse of the promise to come.
