The gardens are designed to provide fun and interest in gardening. Water features play a major part as they add sound and movement to the gardens. With over 20 water features including the remarkable musical fountain designed exclusively for Ralph Court the gardens provide constant movement and breath-taking displays. Divided into 12 themes, the garden transports you around the world, incorporating mythology, fantasy and culture. Careful planting has ensured the gardens provide scent and colour throughout the year with many rare and unusual trees and shrubs creating a focal point within the gardens.
