As one steps through the wrought-iron gate, the lush expanse of lawn unfolds like a verdant carpet, guiding visitors along a journey through time and nature as a soft symphony of birdsong accompanies the rustle of leaves, adding to the garden's enchanting ambiance. Flowers in hues of blue, purple, and occasional bursts of yellow and red are nestled amongst the established greenery, a delightful medley of colour that changes with the seasons. These floral arrangements are thoughtfully placed in raised brick beds, which not only define the walkway but also pay homage to traditional English garden design over hundreds of years.
