From flowers in the Mansion to the produce used in recipes in the Cafe, the garden once again supplies the estate all year round.
A garden for all seasons
Spring
Spring is an important time of year in the garden as it’s when we start seeds off early in the glasshouses. We prepare the vegetable beds for planting and sow annual cut flowers. As the weather warms, we transplant seedlings into the main garden, constantly weeding as everything starts to grow. We grow a variety of fruit, vegetables and flowers.
During spring the numberous fruit trees and shrubs in the garden and orchard put on a colourful display of blossom, and are a welcome sign that warmer weather is on the way!
