terraces forming a cascade of fl owers; the clean whites of Sidalcea candida, the pale rosy hue of Stokesia laevis ‘Träumeri’, the icy blues tones of Iris ‘Blue Shimmer’, and sparkling lemon fl ashes of Leucanthemum x superbum ‘Sonnnenschein’ of these pale beds create a vision of tumbling water catching the sunrays. The top terrace references the more
traditional aspects of the walled garden. A small orchard of apple trees (an important crop in Kent and the Himalayas) encircles a path that leads to a cloistered hut embowered with roses and vines that offers some welcome shade and stunning vistas across the garden and beyond. A path from the hut leads to a small formal vegetable garden edged with box, which follows the contour of the terrace, making use of all available space. At the bottom of the garden there is a long
hydrangea walk under-planted with peonies which provide fl owering interest from mid- summer onwards.
