Looking across the garden, June 2009. New trees set in a meadow of longer grass are intended to screen the new building development outside the garden wall.
The trees are mainly ornamental fruiting and flowering species (crab apples, hawthorns, cherry, plum, Amelanchier) intended to give the impression of an orchard.
