Behind the scenes
Winter is one of the busiest times for our gardening team. They've been stripping out and replacing the old bedding, digging and planting the vegetable patch, laying hedges, pruning trees and plenty more besides.
The winter bedding includes bellis daisies and mixed colour wallflowers, with blue forget-me-nots around the edges, creating a beautiful display to delight the senses.
As well as planning and replanting various beds, the garden team have also been busy doing plenty of maintenance in the parkland. Removing tree guards from younger trees who are now big and healthy, as well as laying hedges where needed.
In our vegetable garden broad beans, garlic and lots more have been sown. Although the ground may still look a little bare, it's ready and prepared to 'spring' into life soon!
