Mostly developed over the last 20 years it has distinct areas which include a cottage garden with roses and herbaceous borders, a natural pond, open lawns with mini silver birch woodland and shrubberies, a productive vegetable terrace with espalier apples, a shady vine covered pergola under planted with ferns and shade lovers and a prairie border established in 2015. There are various levels often with seating to take in the surroundings. There are hens in the orchard corner and established fruit trees. We always have a mouth-watering array of home-made cakes and biscuits. The only problem is which one to choose. There is also a plant sale.
