The garden was redesigned five yrs ago and now inc a sitting area surrounded by four well-stocked flower beds. The entrance takes visitors by a border of established ferns and into a sunny city retreat. The contemporary design is enhanced by the planting, inc clematis, penstemon, lavender, and eryngium. In addition there is a wildlife pond, greenhouse and summerhouse.

The garden was originally a cottage garden with a large walnut tree and lawn. The lawn did not thrive and so we decided to have a modern design with no lawn but large borders for a range of shrubs and plants. Sadly the walnut tree had to be removed because it had honey fungus. This gave an opportunity replace it with three hornbeams which are now maturing.
