The Manor Garden

A 10-acre blend of formal and informal landscapes. Within this small yet diverse space, you'll find herbaceous borders neatly framed by box hedging, an organic kitchen garden flanked by greenhouses, and a wooden arch draped in roses and wisteria. A gravel garden is enclosed by a hornbeam alleyway, creating a picturesque escape. As you move further from the house, the grounds take on a more natural feel, with streams, a pond, and a woodland area inviting leisurely strolls.

About The Manor Garden

While the formal garden has been preserved intact, the rest is slowly becoming as wildlife-friendly as possible. Wildflower meadows are being attempted (weather and slug permitting), wild beehives installed and self-populated, owl and bat boxes mounted on buildings and trees (look up, occasionally), and various bird houses fixed on the trees. Nettle has been let grow in abundance around the edges – it helps butterflies, ladybugs, and other insects to multiply. There are some hedgehog houses too (hidden away in the piles of wood and bushes) – there is hope that they will be populated soon.

Because the garden is 100% organic, we use biological pest control (nematodes, ladybugs, companion plants, etc.). Box moth has only arrived in the garden in 2023. But the natural moth control (pheromone traps and nematodes) seems to be working so far.

The greenhouse water supply comes from natural springs. The plan is to stop using mains water for the whole garden.

The house’s power is provided by the water heat pump – look out for the coils from the wooden bridge in the widest part of the stream as you enter the woodland.
