This ‘magical’ garden is at its most brilliant in spring and is one in which to roam, muse and quietly surrender time. The element of surprise contributes towards a satisfying journey when strolling through Ewanrigg.

Tusculum is an ancient ruined city in the Alban Hills 24km south of Rome. It is situated on the inner slopes of an extinct volcano above Lake Bolsena. It was the summer retreat of Rome’s wealthy citizens trying to escape the summer heat.
Until 1988 the site where Tusculum garden and house are located in Leura, was part of a large paddock. In 1989 construction of a new house was begun and the name ‘Tusculum' was given to the site by original owner who was a German carpenter who built the house, driveway and planted all of the site’s conifers. site was left open and the garden untouched until Doug and Irene Jenkins purchased the house in 1995.
