About the Garden:
Thornton House garden is back once again this summer!
Susan and David are delighted to be opening their garden again this year, with the Rock Choir making another appearance!
It is a large and varied garden with different areas providing something for everyone.
The top of the garden has a lawn and showcases traditional English blooms, and don’t miss the art studio which will be open displaying botanical art and other work.
Visit the Japanese themed garden featuring a sculptured Juniper and cloud pruned Maples with a statue and stone lanterns. Continue down the garden past the well kept beds and veg patch and visit the friendly group of chickens.
Paths will then lead you down into the woods where you can explore.
