About 2 Mill Cottage

Set in just over 1/3 of an acre and designed by jo this is an interesting garden of many defined spaces, with both formal and informal areas.

A mature raised bed surrounded by local rock, leads to the display of pots underneath the balcony. Behind the house is the relaxing but bright area with pots, rocking chairs and a swing chair.
The garden boasts many different seating areas, including a secluded woodland BBQ and dining area with display of hostas and an oak log wall with a feature bottle panel insert, all surrounded by pleached hornbeam.
Around the garden there is a variety of topiary from the famous living sofa to some quirky out of the ordinary clippings. 2 greenhouses, raised vegetable/salad beds. Many Roses, Succulent displays and lots of pots.
The garden also boasts 2 ultimate garden rooms, both with very different themes but sharing exceptional views. The Engine Shed to the old windmill has been lovingly renovated by Andrew. A working Well and also a newly discovered bottle neck well. Not forgetting the very quirky BBQ.

Featured in several magazines.
