A ½ acre, New Forest garden set in a borrowed landscape of mature native trees, full of birdsong in spring. Planted for year-round interest but best in spring for the varied hue and texture of the foliage of trees, shrubs and ferns forming a foil for bright spring bulbs, early herbaceous and flowering shrubs. A large fish pond, and kitchen garden with some raised bed for vegetables and dahlias. Summerhouse for teas if wet.
