Wisteria drapes over a pergola in May; under it are alliums in the large borders. Laburnums are reflected in the pond, which is backed by majestic beech, oak and pine trees. There are also gravel, bog and mediterranean gardens. Extensive use of architectural grasses weave throughout and link the distinct areas. Wild flowers and masses of naturalised bulbs flourish beneath the mature specimen trees and shrubs. A magical treehouse completes the picture.
