The gardens are cottage garden in style, and there are a wide range of plants that allow colour well into the autumn.

The plants particularly include collections of  day lilies, agapanthus, kniphophia, rudbeckia, echinacia and sunflowers.

 
The woodland is underplanted with spring bulbs and hellebores, with woodland shrubs and hydrangias in the semishaded periphery. 

The stream is fed from the pond. A gingko, oak,arbutus and persica give shade to  the massed ferns, astilibe, hemerocallis, ligularia, rodgersia and hostas.

The small meadow beside the stream has narcissi and fritillaries in the spring, and a variety of wildflowers in the summer.
