In this evolving garden we aim to inc as many different elements as we can, to create interest. The woodland walk leads to a tropical area; the swimming pool area encompasses a hot border; the orchard is bordered by a camellia walk. We have a parterre at present but the box moth caterpillars are getting the better of it so that may become a cutting garden.

The garden is in a state of evolution following three years of building work and the loss of the greenhouse in a storm. There are exciting plans for a new greenhouse and art studio as well as landscaping at the front of the house over the next few years. Watch this space!
