East Court
The herbaceous borders of the East Court are perhaps the jewel in the crown with striking colour and architectural planting set around a manicured lawn. Rudbeckia, sunflowers and crocosmia are just a few of the beauties that will be in flower.
The humming bees provide the music to accompany this visual spectacle as they go about their daily business of collecting pollen and you will see the gardeners just as busy at their work keeping everything in order. There is a lot of maintenance to do at this time of year, deadheading, watering and mowing, to make sure everything is looking its best for as long as possible.
North Garden
In the summer time perhaps the most appealing feature of the formal sunken North Garden is the magnificent fountain in its centre. It is a great place to cool down after a session of rolling down the banks and playing hide and seek in the inner yew hedges.
