Seasonal highlights
Late Winter
A good selection of hellebores in the woodland garden and a few early flowering rhododendrons.
Spring
Spring bulbs including snowdrops and great swathes of daffodills.
Early Summer
The Spring garden is a highlight of the early summer season. It is a delightful sight with hundreds of tulips and daffodills growing amongst the grass all overhung with pink and white cherry blossom.
The 4 acre woodland garden is an exotic mass of rich colour and sweetly scented azaleas and rhododendrons. It is its best in late May/early June.
Summer
The sunk garden is continually changing with a huge variety of plants including, alliums, roses,, penstemons, poppies, peonies as well as a good selection of annuals.
Autumn
The terrace borders and the sunk garden borders are full of late autumn colour with a profusion of dahlias and asters.
In 2008 the rose garden was re-planted as a dahlia garden which looks at its best in August and September.
