Ellen Penstone- Smith
I met up with Ellen Penstone-Smith at Farringford House, once home to the Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, on a frosty winter’s morning. The last time I had visited the garden was in the previous summer and the walled garden, in particular, had been packed full of colour. On today’s visit the garden is wearing more muted winter colours.

New tree planting in the grounds is important to replace older trees and to improve the habitat for wildlife.
