Winner of the R H S/DAILY MAIL NATIONAL GARDEN PRIZE..

"This is a wonderful garden...inspirational, exuberant, confident and brilliantly maintained.

A profusion of plants, rare and less rare, artfully arranged in great combinations of form, shape, size and colour.

It is a real  lesson in what can be achieved in a comparatively small space on sloping ground and including a narrow lane with high walls on each side. Be sure to spend as much time in the garden as possible, just sitting and contemplating English gardening at its very best"
