    This is a garden on the up. Dynamic young head gardener has renovated the avenue of Holm oaks to form striking pillars; grows all the salad for the restaurant; has planted an exotic border; created a white garden and a woodland grove which he filled with hanging candles for our visit. He also has great plans for a new Gertrude Jekyll border. The Lutyens house is a beautiful backdrop and there are plants for sale.
