The garden has been in the same ownership for the last 55 years giving lots of planting opportunities with trees and shrubs able to reach maturity. The latest planting in the arboretum is a Chinese Wingnut tree (Pterocarrya) Do come and see it. We are also particularly proud of our Handkerchief tree.
Usually there are plants for sale and visiting nurseries.
