Around £25,000 is to be invested in a popular green space in Watford.
Watford Borough Council has earmarked the cash to improve facilities at Cheslyn House and Gardens.
The improvements to the award-winning gardens in Nascot Wood Road include work to the wooden aviary which has deteriorated badly over the years and is starting to become an issue for the maintenance team.
The pond, which is home to several very large Koi Carp, is also due for a significant overhaul.
The upgrades will take place over the coming months.
Nascot Liberal Democrat ward councillor Mark Hofman said: "Cheslyn is one of Nascot’s jewels and residents from around the ward have told me how much they enjoy their visits to the grounds.
"I’m so pleased that the council is continuing to invest in this much-loved house and gardens that has been a real source of pleasure and respite during the long, dark months of lockdown.
"It's a nice tranquil place to come, during what has been a troubling period."

Cllr Hofman says the gardens are expected to remain open throughout the work.
