This area was first planted in 1994 with trees, cornus, rhododendrons and azaleas. It was then under-planted with hellebores, pulmonaria, dicentra, primula and many more ground covering plants.

The garden was extended in 1997 with a magnolia circle, and mixed planting as described above.

The first flowers appear in January and carry on until well into the summer before the autumn colours slowly emerge.
