I wonder if any urgler has visited this place? We've just had a call

and it seems to be kept as such a garden begs to be kept.

Really Sacha.
Why do you think it's called a secret garden?
I am wondering if the offspring of the founder Ernest Jardine are known
as Jardinieres?

;-) The Showering family had it after him and seem to have done a
massive amount to it. They - or part of that family, at least - ended
up living in Jersey, presumably for tax reasons!
