Beatrice's Garden
This is the main garden which surrounds the northern side of the house. There are various rooms and spaces within Bea’s Garden from the cherry blossom and rugosa rose surrounded Reflection Room to the 20m long perennial border. This is where we spend most of our time, with the dogs running and roaming through the garden beds.
The garden is named for Beatrice, our chihuahua, who is its inspiration.

The perennial border beginning to show its potential
The Reflection Room is a lovely space to sit and enjoy a morning coffee while receiving a warm, curvaceous hug one of Jeremy's drystone walls.
The curved stone steps leading into the garden from the dining room demonstrate the symbiotic relationship between Venetia's design and Jeremy's stone building skills.

Colour abounds within the perennial border - always looking for those little accents to create a moment of interest for the eye to catch.
