Today only a small area is still used to grow produce while the remainder is used to propagate replacement plants for the main borders. Below this is a walled orchard. On the opposite side behind the yew hedge is a nuttery full of hazel shrubs which are coppiced to provide plant supports and to make low hurdles for use around the garden. Primroses and bluebells grow beneath.

To the west of the house, bounded by the churchyard, the road and the drive, is the only surviving example of a Miss Jekyll wild garden. Mown grass paths curve around beds of rambling roses, walnut trees, bamboo, shrubs such as guelder rose and broom and small trees such as cherry plum and crab apple. Wild flowers grow in longer areas of grass and drifts of daffodils welcome the spring. At the far end is the pond planted, like the rest of this area, with a mixture of native and introduced species. Old copper beech and horse chestnut trees and an ancient yew complete the scene.
