Q&A

Favourite season in our garden: Autumn, because of all the beautiful colours it brings. (Mary)

Spring, when the blossom is out and there’s new life coming into the garden. (Ray)

Favourite plant combinations: I do enjoy the contrast between the buxus and the winter roses. (Mary) White hydrangeas, magnolias and buxus. (Ray) Watering the garden: We installed an irrigation system, so it’s very easy to keep the garden looking great all year round. (Ray)

Most-used tool: Manual and electric clippers, though sometimes we treat ourselves and get someone in to do the clipping for us. (Ray)
