In late September the third of an acre garden at 'Four Seasons' is spectacular as the Virginia creeper on the house changes to red. In the upper garden, the begonia flowers are a riot of colour against a backdrop of acers and conifers. In the lower garden, a stream meanders through the late summer perennials. Visitors will have a taste of the tropics as they wander through the jungle with its palms, bamboos, bananas and exotic bird sounds.
