Gardenvisit Editorial
A walled garden surrounded by a woodland garden. It is close to Chesil beach and separate from the site of the now-demolished house in which its maker, Lord Ilchester, lived. The old kitchen garden is given a sub-tropical air by the palm trees but the real attraction is the lush planting in the valley garden. It has some of the most extensive gunnera plantings in England.

A very significant collection of some choice trees, shrubs and perennials.
The woodland area especially is a plantmans paradise, and probably worthy of about 3 visits a year especially in the late spring ,early summer to observe all the plant gems.
The nursery had a very good selection of good quality plants, although their on line nursery seems to stock unusual stuff.(5.0/5) -
