Curved weirs are dotted along the river throughout the garden to keep the river ( and the garden) with good water flow at all times.

Away from the river are small garden ‘rooms’ and groves of mature trees like one of Australian Eucalypts – their barks making great abstract art.

Almost every part of the world is represented in the garden. These Alstroemeria hail originally from South America – hence the common name Peruvian Lily.

Lawns are not extensively used but they do add small areas to sit and enjoy the peace of the gardens.

Everywhere in this late garden of 22 acres there are the small things to enjoy – flowers of great beauty, like this campanula.

There are many outstanding specimen trees like this Mexican Blue Pine, Pinus montezumae. This is but one branch of this enormous tree.

I’ll add more about Mount Usher when I get home. For now, I hope you have enjoyed this brief wander in this very special garden. J
