My home used to belong to an estate gardener, and I found many heirloom plants, including wild biennial forget-me-not ( Myosotis scorpioides ), October-blooming monkshood ( Aconitum Carmichaelii ), and a shade-tolerant garden Solomon's seal ( Polygonatum x hybridum ) that I've never seen in garden centers.

The garden currently contains over 22, 000 plants, with extensive collections of Agapanthus, Agave, Amorphophallus, Arisaema, Arum, Asarum, Baptisia, Colocasia and allied genera, Crinum, Epimedium, ferns, Hedychium, hardy palms, Hosta, Kniphofia, Ophiopogon, ornamental grasses, Polygonatum and allied genera, Rohdea, Salvia, and Zephyranthes.

These include the ancient woodland indicators of lily-of-the-valley, herb paris and ramsons, but also the uncommon in angular Solomon'- seal ( " Polygonatum odoratum " ) as well as the common in bluebells ( " Hyacinthoides non-scripta " ) and lord-and-ladies ( " Arum maculatum " ).

Located at, this site of coppiced ancient woodland includes an extensive area of calcareous ash / wych elm coppice on the hill sides, merging into wet Solomon's seal ( " Polygonatum multiflorum " ), Twayblade and Early Purple Orchids ( " Listera ovata " ) and " Orchis mascula " and, locally, Wild Daffodil ( " Narcissus pseudonarcissus " ).
