We've planted masses of mixed, naturalising bulbs under ancient trees, in the winter garden, the walled gardens, and in the cherry orchard. Maud Russell’s head gardener, Mr Buckle, started the tradition of ‘bulk planting’ a single plant variety which has since been adopted by subsequent head gardeners.
Bright yellow daffodils are always a cheering sight. In our gardens, you'll find big, colourful displays spread out near the font, and clustered by the pathways of the winter garden.
Crocuses create a pretty pattern underneath an archway of magnolia, which will blossom with its own distinctive white flowers during the spring. Nearby, a carpet of periwinkle blue chionodoxa sweeps down the lime tree avenue in April.
