Description of Garden

Designer: Mr. & Mrs. Tatam

The one-and-a-half acre garden is a plantsman's delight with an enormous range of interesting perennials, as well as trees, shrubs, old-fashioned roses and bulbs. Features include a courtyard garden, sunken garden, walled gravel garden, pond and orchard. Beyond there are grassland walks to the old moat and the historic church. Most of the plant varieties in the garden can be bought in the adjoining nursery.

History of Garden

The farmhouse is believed to have been built in the 17th century, extended in 1815, with the copper beech planted in the Victorian era still thriving. However most of the garden has been developed since Pam & Mark Tatam moved into the farmhouse and took in part of the field, including the old ha-ha. Since then this area has been divided and further areas added, including the courtyard garden and an orchard. The hardy plant nursery has been developed at the same time so the garden has grown through a sustained stretch of spare time enthusiasm.
