There are three beautiful ponds in the gardens – two built in 1986 and a third added in 1996, each shaped by the head gardeners of their time. The third photo shows the original pond from 1986, showcasing its early days. Today, all three ponds continue to look stunning, reflecting the vibrant colours of the seasons, thanks to the care and attention of the gardeners who followed.
