About Barnstable House

The garden is a blaze of colour in summer with a Gazebo at the centre of the garden. The Gazebo will be covered with Jasmine, Californian All-Spice, Ampelopsis Elegance, Green and Orange Roses to provide a sweet scented cool shaded hideaway.

The large Orangery will have life size Alice in Wonderland characters sitting around a large glass table portraying the scene of the Mad Hatters Tea Party surrounded by many plants.

The patio area located at the front of the Cotswold Stone Barn is also planted with many colourful plants and shrubs and is surrounded by many tall shrubs providing a quiet cool shaded area to sit and relax with a glass of summer wine.

You can view photos of this garden on Brize Norton Open Gardens on our community Web Site: www.bncommunity.org/ngs
Now we all look forward to you spending a delightful warm summer afternoon meandering around our beautiful Village Gardens located near the Cotswolds in West Oxfordshire.
