About 19 Lovelace Road

This lovely artist’s garden is a charming oasis where art and nature harmoniously
blend. The south-facing garden is a sanctuary for wildlife and displays garden
sculptures and hand-crafted ceramic planters.

At the front, you’ll find a mosaic of low-growing junipers, euonymus, and hebes,
creating a colourful, welcoming display. As you wander to the back, wide borders
invite you to explore a diverse array of trees, shrubs and perennials. The emphasis
is on bee-attracting flowers, including a charming rose arch and blackberry and
rose hedges, ensures a buzz of activity from pollinators.

A pond teems with life, home to frogs, newts, and dragonfly larvae, enhancing the
garden’s wildlife-friendly atmosphere. In addition to its array of flowers, there’s a
raspberry patch and a veranda where tomatoes, cucumbers, and lemons flourish.
