Kitchen Garden

Kitchen Garden

The large walled Kitchen Garden across the drive from the house was restored in 2001 to a design by the renowned Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd. It features a charming mix of lawn, fruit trees and shrubs, as well as a wide variety of vegetables and flowers. The garden is approached through a nuttery and provides a view through pergolas to a sundial, surrounded by a semi-circle of pleached Pyrus Chanticleer. The sundial dates from the construction of the house (1790). The impressive Victorian greenhouse welcomes visitors to wander through.

Plants and produces from the Kitchen Garden are available for sale in accordance with the seasons.
