Curved weirs are dotted along the river throughout the garden to keep the river ( and the garden) with good water flow at all times.

Away from the river are small garden ‘rooms’ and groves of mature trees like one of Australian Eucalypts – their barks making great abstract art.

Almost every part of the world is represented in the garden. These Alstroemeria hail originally from South America – hence the common name Peruvian Lily.

Everywhere in this late garden of 22 acres there are the small things to enjoy – flowers of great beauty, like this campanula.

There are many outstanding specimen trees like this Mexican Blue Pine, Pinus montezumae. This is but one branch of this enormous tree.
