 | Did you know? We had over 5,000 visitors in 2009. Our new espaliered apple and pear trees were grown by Peter Thevonot, renowned worldwide for his skills in the ancient art of espallier. The Conservatory weighs over 3 tons. Our Garden Groomers maintained over 70 large container gardens last year. The hedge surrounding our gardens are Arborvitaes, or Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'.
