The garden includes many trees eg Whitebeams, Rowans, Sycamores and various types of Willow along with shrubs, thousands of bulbs and flowers. The lawn borders the West side of the garden.

Across the lawn is the
Vegetable Plot. It is double fenced with trees and shrubs between the fences keeping the plot rabbit proof.
