The end of this year's Season With regret we have to close for the winter, so that the garden has a chance to revive and prepare itself to welcome you next year. Anthony Noel's planting will be gaining momentum, the hedges will be trimmed and the fountains maintained, and the plants and borders will be worked on and nourished so they will be as stunning as ever when the 2010 season opens. We would love to see you all then! And don't forget to subscribe to our FREE e-newsletter, so that you will be the first to know all that we are planning for next year. |
