This three acre garden is full of surprises with each garden style flowing into the next. The front garden contains a sunken white garden, an Italianate canal and a Japanese garden. The boundary wisteria walk opens out into the bog garden and woodland area, from where you can continue to the tea house to enjoy a view of the Mediterranean and tropical gardens.
Wander over the birch mound, which is surrounded by the wildflower meadow, into the Chinese garden or the walled kitchen garden to view the seasonal vegetables.
