At the end of a path passing between 6 majestic palm trees lies the entrance to the Dutch Garden.
 

Though no one is certain how this formal garden earned its moniker, it is assumed it was so named because it is laid out in a windmill pattern with 6 buxus-lined gravel lanes radiating from a central circle. Sunlight filters through the canopy of exotic trees planted many years ago which include a host of camellias, a loquat, a weeping cherry and a strawberry tree from Central America with feathery red bark.
 

The many fragrances of the Dutch Garden are sure to revive the senses: lavender, bay, pine, lemonwood, orange blossom, and boxwood among others. It is an excellent place to look for a cheeky wood pigeon or brush up on one’s botany.
