During the era of the Empire the importation of exotic plants carried on a pace. The owners of large estates vied with one another to create the most exotic looking gardens by means of bedding out these tender plants. The use of Canna, Kniphofia, Hedychium, Watsonia, and Agapanthus creates an atmosphere of the sub-tropics.

One
of the few areas of the garden that was actually planted as an ornamental
garden in the days of the hospital. This area was formerly known
as the Palm Court due to the presence of the specimens of the "Chusan
Palm" Trachycarpus fortunei. A well protected area
that is intended for the development of a classic Victorian Sub-tropical
Garden.
