With 2 ponds and a stream running down to the River Blackwater, the garden slopes south in a very pretty situation. There is a 2 acre arboretum with many trees and shrubs grown from seed collected on expeditions with Kew Gardens. There is a small kitchen garden and there are always new and different plantings to be seen in the garden with annuals, perennials, shrubs and old-fashioned and rambling roses.
