The Old Sunhouse, Damgate, Wymondham
This well established garden is one-and-third acres and is surrounded on three sides by water -  large drainage ditches and the River Tiffey.  It also has a pond and bog garden.  Trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, old roses, vegetable garden, fruit trees, wild flower meadow, ferns, hens, quirky sculptures and interesting out-buildings.  The colchicums looked particularly stunning on this very warm afternoon.

A full report of this garden will appear in our next newsletter.
