This garden is full of a wide range of plants, creating wonderful colour combinations. They tumble over the gravel and stone paths and gently edge the rills and pond. The effect is a place of abundance and tranquillity. You can sit at the edge of the pond, or in ‘The Wee Beacon’ summerhouse, or in an area sheltered by low stone walls, and enjoy this beautiful garden.
