Hilltop’s south facing garden is a gorgeous riot of colour and scent, the 250 year old thatched cottage barely visible amongst the greenery and flowers. Unusual annuals and perennials grow alongside traditional and familiar plants like phlox, roses, asters and dahlias boldly combine to make a spectacular display. The focus of the garden is a massive oak around which the garden curves and flows, the paths and borders meandering away from the shade into the sun to fill every corner with interest and surprise. The garden was included as one of the Daily Telegraph’s 50 Great small gardens to visit in 2009. The garden has also been featured on TV, most recently with Joe Swift.
