About 10 Harlaxton Drive

Created by its current owner over 26 years, the once-grassed two level terraces have been transformed into a lush urban sanctuary. As keen to attract as many insects and wildlife as possible the pond became the major feature. In early Spring the water is alive with frogs and toads. Many different birds, butterflies and dragonflies visit including bats around dusk. Sit and take in the sights and sounds whilst sipping tea and enjoying cake. Look out for the quirky displays situated around the garden to make you smile.

Plant sales including pond plants will also be available.

Free on-street parking on Sundays and after 6pm.
