Stephen Lacey noted in The Garden under the title of ‘The Season Starts Here’ (RHS, March 2009); ‘This 4.8ha (12 acre) hillside garden displays an extensive and discerningly chosen collection of perennials and bulbs around handsome scree and waterfall features. Highlights include the Quarry Garden’s rhododendron and azalea collection’. The garden is quite simply a treasure trove for the plant enthusiast and a delightful discovery for the discerning garden visitor. Glorious, framed views to the surrounding countryside punctuate the garden at regular intervals; whilst a network of criss-crossing paths provide for a stimulating and fun walk.
