There are three distinct gardens at Nonsuch. At the front of the house is the bog garden - this is the main ornamental garden. To the eastern side of the house is the kitchen garden, then beyond that is a largish triangular piece of land that I call the woodland, even if it mainly contains treeferns.
Both the bog garden and the woodland have gone to wrack and ruin while I have been ill, so for the moment I will concentrate on the kitchen garden.
This is a reasonably pretty plan of the kitchen garden, which mostly lays to the immediate east of the house, facing north (the best aspect for the southern hemisphere).
Here is a planting plan for the coming food growing season (2009-2010). It was once reasonably accurate. ;) Then I found a few more seed catalogues ... This plan also does not show the fig or quince trees that have been planted/are due to be planted.
2005 survey of original garden prepatory to landscaping.
Below is a picture taken in the bog garden about 2 years ago - it will do for a picture of the gardens until I get the photograph page up and running.
One of the later landscaping plans 2005 - this shows some extension to the house which were never done.
