 Old
Buckhurst Garden - Visitors' commentsA Few Extracts from our
Visitors Book
Several visitors have been kind
enough to say the
Garden at
Old Buckhurst is the new Sissinghurst! We find this embarrassing
as no garden can compare
with
Sissinghurst but there is a similarity in that Old Buckhurst used to be
a Farm
and we were fortunate to inherit the old Farmyard Walls.
This has helped to form separate areas:
hence
the comparison with Sissinghurst.
