Here the plants choose where to grow. Californian tree poppies elbow valerian aside to crowd round the old pool. This 2 acre artist and plantsman’s garden is full of colour over a long season. A large collection of salvias thrive here. Tomatoes share the greenhouse with exotics. Hellebores bloom under the trees, and a 100 yr old wisteria rampages along pergolas and walls. Wildflower meadow in the orchard.

The 3 acre partly walled garden built around an old swimming pool has been in the same family for 3 generations and the wisteria which covers the walls and terraces is about 100 years old. For the past 33 years interesting and unusual perennials, shrubs and trees, including salvias and tender exotics from the greenhouse have been planted to create a colourful paradise swarming with wildlife particularly in the wildflower meadow.
