The garden features many different zones all with unique elements and hidden sanctuaries.
Winterhome Farm
Some 3,500 breeding sheep and 100 cattle are raised on this stunning coastal farm. Meet the farm manager at the farm woolshed for a sheep dog demonstration, where the incredibly talented dogs skillfully muster a small flock of sheep
What you will see along the way:
