A garden for garden lovers, fragrant and colourful, we start with snowdrops, daffodils and camelias. These are followed by clouds of pink and white cherry blossoms, the magnificent wisteria covering two walls of the house with its intoxicating aroma, then a huge old philadelphus and several lilacs, a dozen containers from the famous local Whichford Pottery full of tulips, geraniums, and later the highly perfumed Casa blanca lillies. The rose garden is a perfect joy with its lily pond, fountain and stream; many of the famous scented varieties are over 90 years old.

In the main part of the garden there is a large flat lawn, suitable for croquet and badminton. Elsewhere roses, hedges of lavender and tangles of clematis and honeysuckle provide a haven for wild birds. Here you can watch chaffinches, greenfinches, goldfinches, blue tits, great tits, coal tits and long tailed tits, bramblings, nuthatches, green and greater spotted woodpeckers and others. There are a number of garden swings and benches in secluded spots to sit and relax with a quiet drink or cup of tea.

We maintain a superb vegetable and fruit supply in our organic kitchen garden which our visitors enjoy looking at and sometimes help select and gather what we will eat for dinner.
