Reviews and Comments

Have you visited this garden?

almost 2 years ago Adam Hodge said
In terms of a show place for perennials this garden does an excellent job. During an August visit it was a riot of colour and generally speaking very agreable.

Its slight drawback is the multiplicity of these island beds such that one goes back and forth so as not to miss anything, and therefore looses any sense of direction or flow around the place.

Maintenance is exemplary as is the quality of plants, particularly if you like perennials.
