The palette of colours is extraordinary and there are 14 garden areas separated by hedges, flower beds and bushes, joined by a path that weaves under trees and through secret bowers.
All of the gardens are enchanting - quite literally because the constant theme here is fairy tale. Adults and kids alike will fall under the spell of Patricia's imaginative designs and creations. When the five hundred different sorts of roses scent the air in June it’s overwhelming and breath-taking. At other times there are swathes of blue irises, or a host of golden daffodils and in autumn a plethora of pumpkins thrill visitors.
