Garden Features

Special features of the gardens include the rolling lawns and topiary around the house, the new grass garden with its pool, bridge and semi-circular stone retreat designed by John Makepeace, and Jennie Makepeace's intensely planted potager, a riot of colour throughout the summer, all adjacent to the orchard of fruit and architectural trees where the geese strut their stuff.
Neil Lucas, of Knoll Gardens fame, will be present with a display of grasses for sale; teas will
be served on the lawn.
