An ever-changing story
Between the woodland on the upper slopes and Lady Anne’s main garden lies the Woodland Garden bank. This steep, west-facing slope forms part of Lady Anne’s original garden, where some of Collingwood Ingram’s first cherry introductions still survive.
The garden changes dramatically through the seasons: spring sees a burst of colour from rhododendrons and camellias, and wild primroses, wood anemones, violets, bluebells and celandines smother the banks.
Then an aura of calm descends with foliage greens and the muted tones of Stewartia, Eucryphia and Cornus (dogwood) blossom.
