Within the herbaceous border can be found fine groups of flowering plants including bocconia, yellow scabious, tradescantia, achillea, senecio, carpenteria hemerocalis and alstromeria. There are two tall Lombardy Poplars symmetrically placed at the end of the perspective view down the path. They were planted to commemorate two soldiers, the Grenville twins, who were killed in the First World War. Between these great fastigiate trees the visitor may pause to gaze at a framed picture of countryside forming a glorious panorama of grazing fields, irregularly shaped woods and the distant hills of Harthill. On either side of these formal terraced gardens, behind their enclosing hedges, are two sloping lawns which indicate, in contrast to the terrraces, the gradient of the slope. One lawn was planted with two marvellous large mulberry trees so appropriate to the medieval character of the building. On the other lawn are mature horse chestnuts and a large parrotia pecsica which provides splendid autumn colour. The lawn, in the 19th century, contained "The Saints' Garden". A Country Life article of 23rd May 1908 described it thus:" It is brick paved and set out in alleys, squares, and shaped beds. Its planting has been carefully arranged to emphasise the canonical calendar, although the vagaries of our climate may sometimes interfere with the regular unfolding of some special flower on each succeeding Saint's Day in accordance with the plan and purpose of the designer." A photograph accompanying this article showed just how attractive this garden was with its trellis arch. The site is shown on Triggs’ 1901 plan but nothing now remains of this intriguing design concept. Saighton Grange had been used by local nuns as a retreat organised by the Duchess of Westminster, but when Sally, Duchess of Westminster arrived at here, the garden was in a state of extreme decay and was cleared away.

And so we have three gardens in parallel in front of the building -an unusual but well proportioned division of ground and illustrating just how much character can be won from a shallow, even slope, without recourse to an Italian terrace where the whole view would have had to be revealed at once from the upper terrace and not, as we find here, delayed in space and time to provide enticing anticipation and surprise. An unusual additional part of the complex on the south side of the building is a "wing" of the garden which extends from the Mulberry Lawn southwards for some 150 feet to end at a field gate. There is an attractive curved brick path running between two sandstone wall banks planted with overhanging trees and shrubs. This is known as "The Cavalry Walk" (or the old lane).
