The house and park is in the care of the National Trust, the garden is the creation of the family and separate ticket is required.
To my mind gardens these days tend, simplistically, to be in two campes landscapes (stourhead, stowe) or more cottagey/arts & crafts (Hidcote).
The Claydon garden fits more in the with later approach, it obviously is more labour intensive and takes time but it makes a change from manicured lawns and "natural" landscapes that normally surround historical houses.
