GARDENS
 
  Gazebo Hilltop Garden   Blackmore Vale from Hilltop Garden  
  In one corner a round gazebo with shingled roof is a pleasant shady nook in which to relax while gazing across the garden to the cottage, whilst elsewhere other benches and seats are warm and sunny.   From the garden there are far reaching misty blue views over the tranquil and pastoral Blackmore Vale, the very centre and epitome of Thomas Hardy's  Wessex.  
Conservatory Hilltop Garden   Hannahs Garden Hilltop Garden   Verbascum Hilltop Garden
On cool days visitors often linger in the conservatory with tea and cake.   A hot spot in this sunny corner.   Verbascum flowers will last longer out of the hot sun.
Kniphofia uvaria Nobilis ,at Hilltop Garden,the original plant coming from Great Dixter. Rudbeckia Herbstsonne at Hilltop Garden
These giant red hot pokers excite lots of interest on our open days. Rudbeckia Herbstsonne, another tall one, eight foot high and hides our poly tunnel.
Looking across the garden to the oak tree. This tree was planted about 1800 and is the same age as the cottage. Just the thing after a hard days work, lean on the back gate and admire the view.
