Robin and Libby are both keen gardeners and in the TIME that they have called Manor House Farm their home they have transformed the garden into an oasis
Opened every year as part of the National Garden Scheme, the four acre garden offers a series of different spaces which surround the house on three sides. The unusual walled ‘Taj’ garden is a highlight; complete with formal carp pond, old fashioned roses and tree peonies. Leading away from the house is a fragrant tunnel of roses with a pleached lime walk beyond. Elsewhere in the garden a small arboretum has been planted with unusual specimen trees and a ‘hot’ gravel garden has been created. Beyond the formal gardens are Libby’s hens and guinea fowl with Robin’s unusual pair of rhea sharing a paddock with a small group of Formosan Sika Deer.
“Stunning location - definitely need to return to see the gardens in all their glory. Great hospitality.”
