7. The White Garden	<< Back

This consists of a central oval lawn surrounded by a gravel path and an ellipse of pleached hornbeam beneath which white-flowered or foliage plants are seen against a dark background of yew, the intention being to create the illusion that the plants are lit from above. Particular treasures here include Eucryphia lucida 'Variegata'. Weinmannia trichosperma, Catalpa ducloxii 'Variegata', Aralia elata 'Variegata' and some rare white variegated grasses. The two trees at the entrance are Cornus alternifolia 'Argentea'.
