Description

Which path shall I take, is a question a person asks themself when visiting this extensive mature garden. One path will lead past camellias trimmed to bare their twisting trunks and another will find the walker in a sculpture garden and yet another will wind past oak leaf hydrangeas and unusual ground covers.  Whichever path you choose many visual treats are waiting.
