| The
private Brook Cottage 4 acre hillside garden has been formed by an
architect and a plants-woman almost entirely since 1964 and is on the
west facing slope of the valley. The landscaping has been designed to link level areas of lawn and terrace with the natural slopes and to create enclosures, while groups of now mature species trees and shrubs merge the garden into the surrounding countryside. There is something of interest to see throughout the season. Early spring bulbs precede May blossom. The pond is at its best in early June, followed by the roses. Over 50 varieties of clematis - atrogenes, early-, mid- and late- summer flowering - scramble over stone walls and shrubs until the herbaceous perennials come into their own. The season ends with hips, berries and autumn colour. |
