The gardens are also home to a wildflower meadow, in which cowslips can be found in spring, followed by swathes of native wildflowers in summer. The wildflower meadow is home to chalkland flowers and is designated a Local Wildlife Site by the Wildlife Trust.
Bernard Shaw himself kept bees and our team today keeps this tradition alive, with beehives that can be found in the corner of the garden.
The orchard to the west is planted with apple, cherry and pear trees, bringing sweet-smelling blossom in spring. The trees are underplanted with bright Narcissi, blooming in March and April. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this space, a lovely spot to sit and watch the birds visiting the feeders.
