A bird’s-eye view shows the size of the original walled garden, now divided into a kitchen garden to the rear and a family area in the foreground. Here, topiarised hornbeams are underplanted with white blooms, including [i]Allium stipitatum[/i] ‘Mount Everest’ by the dining area, while a multi-stemmed [i]Prunus serrula[/i] brings an informal touch to another bed. A pair of ‘Vranja’ quinces punctuates the herbaceous borders.
