Description of Garden

Designer: Marylyn Abbott

These gardens are surrounded by a neo-classical park studded with follies, monuments and birdcages. The newly restored lake gives a perfect backdrop to one of the most spectacular garden creations this century. A grand Water Garden, parterres and a Green Theatre all add to the beauty of this critically acclaimed garden, indeed BBC Gardeners' World were here to make their first special on just one garden and its gardener. Its features also include 10,000 liliums, an Alice in Wonderland Garden and a woodland planted as a "Magic Wood" with bulbs in mazes and occult patterns. A "Paradise Garden" is now completed.

These gardens have been painstakingly restored to reflect the beauty of their 18th century origins. The uniquely coloured plant combinations of the formal gardens are complemented by the decorative potagers and their ornamental fruit cages, making an exciting architectural statement within the original walls.

History of Garden

1720's manor house surrounded by two gardens.
