Two acre garden started in 1973 when there was nothing there except a few large trees and snowdrops. Interesting trees planted since inc a large liriodendron (tulip tree) planted in 1975. In the spring, many snowdrops, helebores and winter flowering shrubs. Mixed herbaceous borders with roses, interesting perennials and pockets of annuals grown from seed. Traditional potager with box hedges.
