The lawns have been allowed to grow into meadows with mown paths and they display a sequence of wild flowers and grasses, attracting insect pollinators including a variety of bees and butterflies. In spring snowdrops, crocus, fritillaria and primroses predominate in the short grass and these are followed by buttercups, ox eye daisies, birds foot trefoil, bugle and orange hawkweed in the long grass, as the seasons progress.

More formal shaded and sunny borders offer opportunities to grow a range of interesting shrubs and perennials such as acers, Edgworthia, Crinodendron, Astrantias, ferns, foxgloves and lily of the valley in the shade and roses, clematis, paeonies, cistus and dierama enjoying the sunshine. Composting, a wormery and a water butt contribute to sustainability.

On the day of opening refreshments and plants sales will be available.

The garden faces south but the high mirrored and trellised wall separating it from Beechwood creates a deep shady area at the back of the garden in which is situated a pond, water feature, bird bath and cool patio area surrounded by ferns, a flame Azalea and a white Camelia.

Under the mimosa at the back of the garden a larger shady raised patio is bounded by jasmine, solanum, clematis montana and a Blush Noisette rose running along the fence separating it from next door. The herbaceous border with roses, cotinus, a corkscrew hazel, acers, pittosporum Irene Patterson, macaleya, cardoons and bronze fennel is smothered in a sea of geranium rozannes.

A high, dry bank surrounding the base of the holly tree on the left of the garden is covered in wild strawberries. Beneath the open steps up to the balcony that runs across the back of the house are a Japanese Azalea and wild garlic patch, a fern garden beneath the steps and a hot dry bank running down to the lower ground floor of the house covered in erigeron, thyme, ajuga, creeping rosemary, carex, campanula and little dark red dianthus – Deltoides Flashing Lights.

The centre of the garden is filled with a no-mow lawn dotted with large pots of specimen plants and fuschias.

Beneath the apple tree and running down the side of the house is a wild area with an old rambling rugosa rose and wooden compost bins taking you to a large patio in front of the garage.

In front of this patio and running the depths of the garden is an allotment size plot which is still being developed as a growing garden for SEND children with raised beds for vegetables, fruit bushes and trees, a pond area, an arch for growing vines or hops and a firepit.
