The garden had been neglected for many years and was a jungle with falling-down walls until 2000, when we dredged the lakes,planted around them and restored the walls. There is a romantic view of the lakes which lead from one to another and make a very pleasant walk.
There are five gardens: Nanny's Garden, the Children's Garden, the Croquet Garden, the Ladies' Garden and the Water Garden. In January to February there are aconites to see, in March-April daffodils and tulips, also it is the best time to visit the Orchard Cherry Walk. Then in May-June there are magnolias, roses, philadelphus and cornus. Following on in July-August one can see cotinus, potentillas, roses, lavender and nepeta. Finally in September and October the sumachs, acers and gunneras provide a show.
The garden was started in 2000 and is now quite mature.
