Peter Barn Gardens

The gardens are South facing and planted with a variety of shrubs and herbaceous perennials providing interest throughout the year.

A quiet stream meanders amidst conifers and lawn and a Japanese inspired garden where water lilies erupt from the still pools. We try to encourage wildlife in the garden and have planted a range of species both native and foreign to provide cover for birds and extend the flowering season to provide nectar for insects.We often see deer, mainly early in the morning, coming down to the stream that runs through the garden.

Guests are invited to enjoy the gardens whenever they wish.
