About: We will be visiting Simon Tiffin who is a very enthusiastic gardener and his gardens which surrounds his Grade II listed property Manor Farm. This is a typical English country garden with roses, lavender, clematis and is almost never open to the public. The front of the house features three colourful borders and a formal pond. These are complemented by a small spring garden and wildflower patch.
To the rear of the property is a courtyard garden, kitchen garden and a woodland. The garden is surrounded by a large orchard. Simon will be on hand to introduce us to his garden and answer any questions we might have.

We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
