WHIMBLE GARDENS & NURSERY: Tucked away on the southfacing
slopes of The Radnor Valley this richly planted garden is a
subtle tapestry of colour throughout the season. In the main garden a yew walk leads into a box-edged
parterre planted with bulbs, perennials and some unusual
annuals. Beyond, an airy wiremesh "church" creates an
eccentric and attractive frame work for roses and rare
clematis. A small garden is scented by a hedge of Hidcote
lavender, and a gate cuts through a beech hedge leading to the
meadow beyond which even finer views of the surrounding hills
can be seen from the balustraded toposcope.
