Description: This mature medium size garden is situated in George Street, a minute's drive up the hill from Western Ferries.  Originally created from a simple plot in the late fifties, the present owner has inherited a charming garden which can be seen at its best from late May to early July.  Daffodils, rhododendrons and azaleas.  Later the walls of the house are covered by clematis and passion flowers, fighting for space with jasmine and honeysuckle.  Trees range from a young but beautiful copper beech to a range of conifers, acers, a large silver birch and embothrium.  Over the last 34 years the aim has been to create colour and interest for all seasons and to this end sorbus, bottlebrush, a palm tree and a magnificent pampas grass have been added among many other plants of interest.  The long winding drive provides wheelchair access so that all the garden can be viewed.
