Garden buildings and use of reclaimed landscaping materials to add interest and height and lots of seating areas around the garden. Many plants grown from seed or cuttings and composting area to minimise garden waste.
The garden is split into sections, shady, oriental, dry, alpine, herbs, vegetable, roses, irises. with year round interest.
A highlight of planting includes many old English roses (over 100), shrubs and climbers and large variety of shade loving plants and hostas, many of which are labelled.
