Keeping the Mansion House gardens at their best
The gardens were laid out in the early 1800's when the owner of the estate, Samuel Farmer, had the Mansion House built.
The gardening group meets, rain or shine, on Thursday mornings to carry out practical tasks to help keep the the gardens looking at their best.
There is always weeding, pruning and planting to be done.

The wisteria dates back beyond 1850

Every Spring and Autumn the Voles help plant several thousand bedding plants

The gardens in times past
The Voles help to tend the formal bedding

Wildflowers have been sown at the back of the garden
The beds at their best in the Summer
