About The Homestead
Although small, this garden has distinct areas which are colour themed with mixed planting trees, shrubs, many perennials and obelisks covered with roses and clematis.
The Homestead
This compact gem of a garden has been created over the last 9 yrs by a keen gardener and plantswoman. Enter past groups of liquidambar and white stemmed birch. Colour themed areas with many perennials, shrubs and trees. Past topiary and obelisks covered with many varieties of clematis and roses, enjoy the colours of the hot border. A decorative greenhouse and pond complete the picture.
