West Wight People and Place: Garden Manager Ellen Penstone-Smith
I met up with Ellen Penstone-Smith, garden manager at Farringford House, home to the Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, on a frosty winter’s morning. The last time I had visited the garden was in the previous summer and the walled garden, in particular, had been packed full of colour.
On today’s visit the garden is wearing more muted winter colours.
