This is a garden to enjoy - whatever the vagaries of the British weather! Within the still water sit waterlilies and deep water plants, densely edged by marginal and moisture-loving perennials. An area has been partially screened from the rest of the garden by a selection of shrubs and trees including dogwoods, birch, alder and willow. This creates a space to escape from the hurly burly of everyday life. A jetty extends across the water to a wooden building set on stilts in the pond. People can sit, relax, pond dip or use the swing.
