Lawn 1 provides the entry to the linked lawn section from the driveway. It is fairly well surrounded on all sides with mature shrubs. It’s the biggest lawn after the main lawn with plenty of mature shrubs and trees including rhododendrons, honeysuckle, forsythia, lilac, sedums, geraniums, lupins and a camassia amongst many others.

There are a number of flowering trees around Lawn 1; a crab apple which is full of blossom in spring, a willow-leaved flowering pair, a lilac and an asiatic apple.

Planting around Lawn 1 is a real mixed bag. The backdrop is mature shrubs and trees a few euonymus. Most things have appeared as I’ve left things to come back, but some I have moved in from other spaces like this leopard plant and some hostas. Other things that have appeared include some beautiful blue-purple lupins, a small camassia, some alstroemeria, a peony, an aster and some geraniums.
