The major project this summer has finally been completed- creating a rill in the long pond at the front of the house.
Local business R.E. Cookson & Son used a state of the art “mole” to bury the pipe and cable without having to dig up the gardens- much to our relief.
The recent warm, dry weather has meant plants in the Orangery and Greenhouse have really thrived….
Lemon tree in the Orangery
Streptocarpus in the greenhouse Other areas which have thrived are the Box Garden and the herbaceous borders at the front of the house.
