When to come and what to see
IN BLOOM

Each month the gardens look splendid with plenty to see.
We are known for some particularly fantastic displays:

Roses: First flush June, second flush September. We will have roses in flower until Christmas or the first frosts as we keep them vigorously dead-headed.
