The garden is designed to be wildlife friendly with wild areas meeting formal planting.There is an orchard and vegetable plot. There are areas of woodland, laid hedges, a pond supporting amphibians and dragonflies, wildflower meadow and an abstract garden sculpture by local artist Paul Richardson. In 2024 we will be making changes designed to increase our resilience to drought.

The garden was originally half of a long established garden from which some mature trees, notably deodar cedar and a redwood remain. We manage the garden as a haven for all wildlife (except rabbits and deer!). There are more recent plantings of birch, larch, yew and cherry and extensive areas of perennial planting nearer the house.
We record over 40 bird species each year and a good showing of butterflies, dragonflies and wildflowers inc orchids.
