SPECIAL ROSE WEEKEND Friday

The gardens are spectacular through spring,
summer and autumn but it is in June that the fragrant, colour
themed plantings of roses are at their best. A representative
from Peter Beales Roses, winners of 16 Chelsea Gold Medals, will
be leading walks around the gardens on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
giving advice on the growing and care of roses
LILY TIME Mid
July to mid August (open on normal days only)
Last year hundreds of lilies in over 40 fascinating varieties,
some highly perfumed, were planted throughout the gardens and
in the woodland area to make a stunning high summer display.
This year these lilies, which had one head each last year, should
blossom into two heads as they become more established.
In addition, more new lily bulbs have been planted to make an
even more spectacular display for 2008.
