Surrounded by mature oak trees the six acre garden consists of a series of interlocking arcs of large planted borders in a naturalistic style.
The borders encourage exploration and adventure and visitors are welcome to roam in amongst the mighty plants to further enjoy the experience. The plantings consist of large groupings of each variety, planted in a free flowing style, which contrasts leaf forms, stems, stalks, flower shapes and textures.
Colours are soft and muted, and complement the natural landscape.
The borders serve as a living catalogue of plants used by Paul and Pauline in their garden design business, the plants themselves are the stock plants from which plants are taken into the farm nursery.
Both Paul and Pauline are keen to emphasize the beauty and wonder of perennial planting and to demonstrate the longer season benefits of perennials and grasses in dream combinations.
