Do you know the number for ? silverdaddies videos Lord Sandwichโs father not only rescued but greatly expanded the garden to its present 15 acres, including the addition of shrubberies and an arboretum, which contribute many of the autumn tints. โHe was always noting down trees in other people's gardens, and had the habit of sending his gardener to Hillierโs Nursery in Hampshire with a blank cheque, which was not good for family finances.โ Caroline and John Sandwich, who has had a career working for charities and NGOs, came to live here with his father in the mid-1980s, by which time the garden was ready for another refreshment. Their themes were โconsolidation and luxurianceโ. Much of this luxuriance comes from Lady Sandwichโs enthusiastic plantsmanship, and it was she who took me on the garden tour, starting in the large and magnificently stuffed glasshouse by the wisteria-covered stable block, in which she grows copious amounts from cuttings. Salvias have become a particular speciality, and they deliver some lovely shots of late-season colour in various parts of the garden, beginning with a plump stand of shocking pink S involucrata โBethelliiโ in the entrance courtyard, its tints finding a lively partner in those of the bells of Clematis โGravetye Beautyโ beyond.
