Drifts of yellow daffodils naturalised in grass amongst trees
Cloud-like white blossom of Yoshino cherry on the Main Lawn beneath a blue spring sky
Several long tassles up to 5ft long of the vivid green, pea shaped flowers belonging to the jade vine, flowering in the Glasshouses
Purple globe heads of alliums flowering amongst other pale yellow spring flowers in the Garden's bee borders, with a backdrop of trees
Drifts of mainly purple and red flowers which make up our Bee Borders, surrounded by mature trees with a curving grass mown path
The Garden's Lake in summer time, reflecting the blue summer sky, with the Rock Garden in the foreground, with visitors wandering through.
Fiery autumn colours of the trees surrounding the Lake and tree reflections in the Lake
