The Galanthus garden
The four-acre garden at Galanthus has been developing constantly since 2004. Originally part of the Clive family estate, it features many beautiful mature trees, a rill and duckpond, a woodland area, walled gardens and lawned areas with a variety of specimen shrubs and trees. There are plenty of seats from which to relish both the longer vistas and the many choice plants close-up, including:
- the woodland area which is carpeted with snowdrops, aconites, crocuses and daffodils in the springtime;
- extensive traditional herbaceous borders;
- magnificent, mature Japanese acers and magnolias;
- gunneras, hostas, rodgersias, astilbes, candelabra primulas and other choice bog plants by the rill;
- a spectacular, mature wisteria at the front of the house with summer borders including artemisias, cistus, lavenders, roses and salvias;
- in the courtyard linking the contemporary art gallery with the original Georgian house, all year round planting with an emphasis on foliage: bamboos, a specimen fremontedendron and Magnolia grandiflora.
