Achamore Gardens
South Walled Garden
Now no longer used for fruit and vegetables, the South Walled Garden
has been reclaimed and planted in a similar way to the north section.
The central herbaceous border has been retained however and there
is a fine Pinus montezumae (Mexico).
Other plants include Echium pininana (Canaries), Clianthus puniceus
(lobster claw, red and white colour variety from New Zealand), Beschorneria
yuccoides (Mexico), Metrosideros lucida (New Zealand Christmas tree),
and Callistemon phoeniceus (bottle brush - Australia). There are
also various Rhododendrons including Rh. yakusimanum. In the grassed
area where the fruit cages originally were a monkey puzzle tree
has been planted and also Cedrus deodar. The peacocks can often
be seen here.
