The new owners since 1999 have restored the garden to it the
splendour of the 1840s when the Manor and lands were
considered a model estate.
Much of the recent planting has an African theme, including
Wild Grasses, Restios, Proteas, Cannas, Tree Ferns and many
Summer Perennials making Bonython particularly strong in
summer.
More than 15,000 deciduous hardwoods have been planted to
replace the original shelterbelts for the garden, planted
two hundred years ago.
