About White House

The gardens have been redeveloped to complement the Mediterranean feel of White House, with olive trees and a parterre of lavender, stachys and alliums. The southern boundary has been planted as a wild flower border, as a transition to the adjacent fields, and to encourage pollinators. There is a pond surrounded by beds of moisture-loving plants such as astilbe, monarda and persicaria and a circular bed after the style of Piet Oudolf incorporating a prairie planting scheme of grasses and perennials. At the entrance there is a winter garden of hellebores, camellias, dogwoods and grasses. Adjacent to the formal gardens is an orchard of mature fruit trees underplanted with wild flowers – an ideal place to sit and enjoy the wildlife.
