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.

.

Black and White Garden plus exotics and many unusual plants add to the visitors interest. Short walk to Danbury Country Park and Lakes and short drive to RHS Hyde Hall Plants and metal plant supports are for sale.
