Vegetables
A wide range of vegetables is grown including several varieties of early potatoes which exude true, home-grown, earthy flavours. ‘Romano’ and ‘Balmoral’ are favourites.
Straw flower
Helichrysum bracteatum (straw flower) is planted in groups between vegetables where blossom attracts bees and butterflies. Later, their flowers are cut, dried in the potting shed, then used for winter displays in the castle.
