On your left, springwood heathers are coming into flower and their tiny fresh flowers may catch your eye. By the second arch on the garden's right hand wall, savour the delicate scent of Jasminum officinale which is unseasonally in bloom. Beyond the jasmine, discover pink Fuchsia mycrophyllla which has been steadily in flower for months; its small bell-shaped flowers are beautiful. Tucked against the far wall beyond the upper terrace is Abutilon megapotamicum - its dangling, bell-shaped flowers with yellow petals and large crimson calyx are quite eye catching.
Edging the upper terrace, by the furthest pond, Viburnum is in flower. Enjoy its rosé tinted stems and creamy white flowers and the contrast created by its dark indigo berries. Nearby you will see Fuchsia magellanica ‘Alba’, which is still displaying its delicate white flowers and the last few blooms from the long-established cherry pink Malena roses.
To the right of the steps leading down from the upper terrace to the lower part of the Walled Garden, discover Leucojum vernum, more commonly known as the 'spring snowflake'. Its pretty white flowers are bell-shaped, often tipped with green. You will also see Japanese quince which is just coming into flower - a flash of orange and salmon.
