INTRODUCTION | HISTORY | THE FRONT GARDEN | THE ITALIANATE PLEASURE GARDEN |
THE OLD KITCHEN GARDEN | THE FOOT PATH
Before
coming down the slope, visitors may wish to walk past
the yew trees to the western section of the garden.
This large area was the Kitchen Garden until 1980 when
Lady Camoys totally replanted it with significant new
borders, Irish yews, new fruit trees, box hedges, blocks
of irises which flower in May, old fashioned roses and
peonies which bloom in June as well as many honeysuckles,
clematis and lavenders. The design is further delineated
by the apple and plum trees, whose blossom in spring
is sensational. |
