In springtime the main
planting feature are the tulips. The mismatched colours and varieties
make a glorious display.
Some of the tulips are
placed together whilst others have enough interest in them to be
planted alone.
In many ways though the
flowers are a secondary feature in the garden. A common sight
throughout the Isle Of Wight is one of garden gnomes and here you are
spoilt for choice.
The gnomes play an important
function in the garden from playing music...
...to preparing the plot
ready for some summer sweetpeas.
Gnomes are not the only
statues in the garden. Situated in the middle of the tulip bed you
will find a classical figure complete with its own horticultural
accessory
The main section of the
garden is centred around a map of the Isle of Wight. It's been some
time since the moat was filled with water but the effect remains the
same. Whatever the season the garden is a delight.

Lovely looking tulip display — I think the mixed varieties and colours work the best, otherwise things can look a bit too uniform. Can you tell I like a rustic garden? :) So many gnomes!
