Consisting of a series of interconnecting herbal gardens there is a large kitchen garden, a tea walk, a medicinal courtyard, a medieval monastic herb garden and a garden of aromatic and fragrant herbs.

The enclosed kitchen garden consists of gravel paths and eleven raised timber beds of varying sizes grouped to form a modern rectangular ‘’Potager’’. Next to the kitchen is the tea walk, a short gravel path lined on one side with plants suitable for infusions and herbal teas. The medicinal garden, set in a granite courtyard, consists of nine raised beds in Irish oak timber. In a lower courtyard is a romantic garden planted with herbs for fragrance and also for their usefulness in cosmetic preparations. Finally, in an adjoining courtyard there is a modern interpretation of a medieval monastic herb garden with four oak raised beds surrounded on two sides by an oak timber cloister.
