Stowford House

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.

About Stowford House
