| 350 varieties of clematis - sometimes as many as 50 in flower at one time. 2000 other varieties of plants, including one of the garden's great wonders, the giant Wisteria macrobotrys 'Burford', which in May cascades spectacularly down the back of the house. Planted originally in 1960, it fills the air with divine perfume, and the racemes hang sometimes two feet in length. |

| Description of Garden | Designer:
John Treasure |
|||||
| This charming seven acre garden was planted in the 1950s to compliment the stylish Georgian house and is now beautifully and mature. The fluid design is enhanced by interesting shrubs and trees, imaginatively used and comprehensively labelled. There are fabulous roses and naturalised herbaceous displays and pleasing areas of water gardens for moisture loving plants. But Burford means Clematis - over 350 varieties - cleverly trained, grown and displayed among shrubs and in Treasure's Clematis Nursery. In summer there may be as many as 50 varieties in flower at one time. There are a vast number of other varieties of plants, including one of the garden's great wonders, the giant Wisteria macrobotrys 'Burford', which in May cascades spectacularly down the back of the house. Planted originally in 1960, it fills the air with divine perfume, and the racemes hang sometimes two feet in length. The Georgian turfed bridge spans the Ledwyche Brook and takes you to the arboretum and the large areas of wildflower meadow. |
