Since moving to Westwood the Koi carp have thrived
and multiplied in the lower pool, surrounded by
water lilies. Their original home was with one of the
stonemasons involved with building the house. As he
was about to move house and knowing that the new
owners would be filling in his pond, he was looking
for a new home for his rare fish. A generous charitable
donation was offered and the fish were moved in the
autumn of 2009.

Soft pinks of Sedums and Echinaceas add to the
continuing colour of the long borders and the
backdrop of the tapestry hedge takes on a mottled hue
from the beech and hornbeam. Long into autumn,
misty grey days are enlivened by the strong blues
of Salvia patens and Ceratostigma willmottianum
along with the clear white Anemone ‘Honorine
Jobert’ lacing their way through the waving sea of
Miscanthus.
