Surprise and amazement are just two words that are frequently used by our visitors to this garden of gardens. There are many rooms here, each with a different character from the delightfully formal Tree Fern Garden, the dryness of Desert Wash, the sumptuous Woodland Garden and this year a new Rose Garden, all abundantly planted with great originality and style. Ornamental pots aplenty, often containing rare plants cunningly combined with those that are better known. Delicious teas and a Plant Centre selling rare plants that have been propagated from those growing in the garden make this garden an unmissable treat.
