Kitchen Garden
Inspired by Rosemary Vereys famous traditional
potager at Barnsley House, box edged paths surround vegetable
beds. Old roses including "Mme
Isaac Pereire" intermingle
with heritage vegetables such as "Bulls Blood" beetroot,
Pink Fir Apple potatoes and "Carouby
de Maussane" peas,
which are grown not only for their attractiveness but also
for their exceptional taste. Sweet William, Dahlias and Sweet
Peas grow amongst the vegetables to provide colour and cut
flowers for the house. An established asparagus bed is located
at the northern end of the vegetable garden.
The small knot garden created to a traditional Elizabethan
design forms a strong focal feature in front of a restored
Victorian glasshouse.
