The Garden
More Than a Herb Garden
The Herbal Garden unfolds as a series of beautiful garden spaces, each with its own character and atmosphere. From the orchard and productive kitchen garden to the flower garden, medicinal garden and peaceful pond, every area invites you to slow down, explore and discover. As you wander, every path reveals another story, where the plants you've fallen in love with for their beauty become windows into history, tradition, food, healing and the enduring relationship between people and plants—making this so much more than a garden of herbs.

This Month in the Garden
July
July has a quieter beauty. Frost lingers across the orchard in the morning and the garden seems to pause for breath. It is a season for pruning, planning and noticing the first quiet signs of spring. Every visit reveals something different, from the delicate structure of bare branches to the first swelling buds waiting to burst into life. Even in winter, The Herbal Garden has its own quiet magic, inviting you to slow down, wander and discover beauty in every season.
