About Lower Shalford Farm
There are thousands of spring bulbs growing in the wooded area in March/ April…but this garden probably looks its best in May and early June, and sometimes in mid September!
Lower Shalford Farm
Fairly large open garden with extensive lawns and wooded surroundings with drifts of daffodils in spring. Small winterbourne stream running through with several stone bridges. Walled rose/parterre garden, hedged herbaceous garden, mature wisterias in all their glory and several ornamental ponds.
