Our Garden

The Heritage Garden stands as a living testament to years of dedicated cultivation and care. This beautiful space emerged from countless hours of planning, planting, and nurturing—a true labor of love that continues to flourish. Walter’s expert vision laid the foundation for what visitors experience today, with his deep understanding of roses and seasonal rhythms woven into every corner of the garden.

The garden’s ongoing beauty is maintained through the dedicated efforts of our team. Bob McGilchrist, our invaluable part-time gardener, helps preserve the high standards Walter established. Additional helpers join us during crucial times of the year—pruning season, quince harvesting, and for larger maintenance projects.

Visiting The Heritage Garden

We warmly welcome visitors to experience this special place. The garden is particularly magnificent during spring, when it reaches the peak of its beauty—exactly as Walter always envisioned it.
