About Home Farm

This 9-acre garden has been adapted to cope well with drier conditions while maintaining a traditional farmhouse feel with more than 120 roses, including many highly fragrant old English varieties and the latest new additions.

These are set among honeysuckles and herbaceous borders packed with delphiniums and a wide variety of salvias. A more recent herbaceous border provides a contrast in plantings with hot reds and yellows comprising alstroemeria, Geum, helenium and sunflowers.

The garden, on mainly free-draining soils, has evolved to cope with drier conditions and eliminate the need for watering.

A large terrace with far-reaching views is surrounded by lavender and a bed with Perovskia (Russian Sage), Cotinus (Smoke tree), Iris and Rosemary gives a Mediterranean ‘feel’ to this part of the garden.

A ha-ha wall surrounds the formal garden, and an orchard has old local varieties of top fruit.

The wildflower area attracts a wide variety of birds, insects and butterflies, including some rare species. A pin oak, with fine autumn foliage, stands in a large lawn, and a fruit cage and vegetable garden are key features.

The large, south east -facing terrace overlooks the garden and has far-reaching views.
