Looking through the Moorish door leading to the "Exotic" back garden (His).

A little of the "Cottage style" front Garden, where most of our collection of Clematis and Lilies are planted, all jostling for space with the many herbaceous flowers (Hers).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 2005 the garden was one of six finalists in the Daily Mail National Garden Competition.
From nearly 1900 gardens entered.

"An astonishing garden with two quite different beautifully worked themes.
The front garden displays a rich and varied composition of hardy perennials, with clematis particularly successful, while at the rear of the house, a stunning and eclectic design, which draws its inspiration from Spain, is both a horticultural and visual delight."
Professor David Stevens FSGD, Fl Hort - Garden designer and author.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The garden is contained in a pocket handkerchief. But a silk handkerchief, hemmed, festooned, embroidered, scented. ...........If you seek a small corner of paradise in Dorset, it is useless to go further"
Translated from a letter sent to us from one of the members of a French garden group that visited our garden in 2005
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The best small garden you will ever visit."
Roy Prior, Chairmam Wessex Group of the British Clematis Society

"I have been all over the world, and have seen many gardens, but yours is the best."
