Spring 2008, Carpinus betulus

This Spring, the hornbeam came out very nicely shaped.

The “Bishop’s hat” stone was intended to stop horse dragged barges trespass the property in 1850.

From the steps, you reach down the Lake, and it’s a wonderful place to have a swim in Summer.

Osmanthus fragrans

This row of Osmanthus fragrans is planted in front of the Polidora B&B pergola.

In September you can smell the marvelous scent of its flowers.
