The major gardens are under construction and we were privileged to have a sneak preview with the owner.The plans include many water features, gardens based on France's Versailles, an outdoor amphitheatre......all of this to opening 2011 . In the mean time Mr Heimbecker continues to graft and propagated many unique conifers, travelling all over the work to bring back unusual trees.

2 established gardens with many speciman trees.
I was most taken with the interesting colours of many of the trees and the conifers.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable tour one we all agreed we want to do again . The plans for the future make this an exciting garden to revisit many times...
