 | | Apart from the glasshouses, which were added during the latter half of the 19th century, the layout of the Gardens is much the same today as their original design. |
 | | The Historic Gardens, Roman, Medieval and Tudor, illustrate typical gardens of each period as would have been found in Britain at the time and the Herb Garden presents a wide selection of kitchen herbs, including such universal favourites as mint, parsley, sage and thyme, and some less familiar ones such as fennel and hyssop. |
 | | A secure courtyard houses a display of about 25 bonsai trees of various styles, loaned to the collection by the members of the FNBC on a rotating basis, which means that many of the outstanding bonsai specimens in the country may be seen from time to time. |
