Cloud pruning is a Japanese method of training trees and shrubs into shapes resembling clouds. It is known as 'Niwaki', the translation of which is 'garden tree'. The gardens are part of the 850 acre Edwardian estate of Doddington Place, a Victorian Mansion dating from 1870. The gardens are open to the public occasionally and today in aid of the National Gardens Scheme.
