Furzelea

Country garden of just under an acre designed, planted and maintained by the owners over time to showcase the seasons with colour, scent, and form. Paths lead through archways and box hedging to lawns and flower beds amassed with seasonal planting of shrubs, roses, and herbaceous perennials, bulbs and dahlias. Tulips, salvias and grasses of particular interest along with many unusual plants.

About Furzelea

Many plants used in the borders are interesting, unusual and not generally seen with our visitors remarking on this mix.

The garden is a peaceful retreat with abundant colour in the planting which attracts a wide variety of wild life including birds and butterflies. The garden is on a gently south facing slope and has a micro-climate that enables us to grow some slightly more tender plants and bring on others earlier.

There is a black and white garden, lily pond, chamomile steps and a courtyard where you can have refreshments surrounded by more exotics.
