  • Long, deep borders with shrubs, old fashioned roses, unusual and interesting perennials
  • Woodland borders with shade loving plants
  • Part walled vegetable parterre
  • Wall trained fruit trees
  • Orchard with old Herefordshire apple varieties
  • Collection of young ornamental trees
  • Wildlife pond
  • Gazebo covered with roses and clematis
  • Large glasshouse

There are plenty of seats around the garden for visitors to relax and enjoy the views.

The garden has good spring interest, is particularly good during June, and strong late summer colour in September.
