The 17th century style Gardens

CUSTOMER NOTICE

During this latest lockdown, once again a small garden Volunteer team has been working very hard to care for the gardens and develop new areas. Due to nature taking its course over the last few month, the garden may not quite be as spectacular as this time last year.

The gardens are laid out in early 17th century style with a wide range of carefully researched and fully labelled trees and plants. The labels are stuffed full of informative and entertaining information.  The gardens include well stocked flower beds, working plant beds, herb and vegetable gardens and heritage orchard, an ornamental maze, some ‘wilderness’ areas and a plant stall (in season). The gardens are developed and maintained by a team of volunteers. There are also garden guides which can be browsed.
