Balcombe Gardens

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, pond and wildlife area. Stumlet has evolved from being a 'work in progress' garden to an amazing, restful and special space. There are places to sit and enjoy a little peace, scent and colour plus the interesting planting. The Coppice is a garden to watch develop over the coming yrs as it changes from a newly designed and part planted area to a completed inspirational one. The areas close to the house are planted and indicate the promise that is to come.
