Gardening clubs

Enjoy a garden tour of at least one hour to indulge in the rich horticultural variety in this garden and see a large variety of garden plants arranged in different styles including water lilies, rare trees, alpines, woodland plants in carefully created habitats.

By way of a contrast the tour ends with a viewing of a modern minimalist garden.
