Surrounded by pasture land its not unusual to share your visit with the animals raised on the farm. With post and rail fencing the boundaries blend into the landscape giving an open feel. Paths of grass and gravel make it easy to wander throughout the whole garden which wraps itself around the house. An extensive range of plants are grown that thrive in the challenging conditions, many propagated for sale on NGS days.
