These flowers were picked on the 28th November 2011 from plants, shrubs, and bulbs growing in the widely
different growing conditions, which range from open gravel soil, low lying damp soil (the Water Garden), to
dry shade. Due to the exceptionally mild autumn weather many out of season plants have come into flower,
while typical autumn flowers have produced a second flush.
In many cases, out of season blooms such as Cistus, Helianthemum, and Romneya coulteri produced only a
few blooms. Seasonal plants, such as Liriope, Hesperantha (Schizostylis) and Erigeron karvinskianus still
make a fine show.
The names against the images refer to the different areas of the garden. Please click on the image to enlarge.
This list is at the request of Beth, who would like to keep a record of how the mild weather has affected the
plants.

Our light and modern Tea Room, which overlooks the famous Gravel Garden was opened in 2006 and welcomes our visitors throughout the year. Our friendly staff are always on hand to offer light lunches and refreshments including home-made soup, filled rolls, mouth-watering cakes, teas and coffees. We try to source our produce locally as often as possible, from Tiptree Jams to James Whites Juices and award-winning ice cream from the Manor Farm Creamery in Bury St Edmunds. The Tea Room is an ideal finish to a walk around the Gardens and Nursery; it also hosts our ever-growing list of workshops and events.
