About 21 Chapel Street

Out of an old farm yard plot covered in rubbish and old sheds behind an 18th century cottage, Cliff and Joan Curtis created a small walled garden with a paved area, a large alpine planted area and intensively planted beds and borders. Now being lovingly maintained by the next generation Sharron and Paul.

Sunlight and shade provide conditions for a year-long flow of foliage and flowers. From very early snowdrops and bulbous plants, to hellebores and asters for the herbaceous lovers there is much to delight the visitor throughout the season. The large gravel area to the side of the cottage is enlivened by numerous old stone troughs and sinks planted with a collection of alpines. An interesting feature is the end of a large shed covered with old enamel advertising signs collected locally. A gap between the buildings leads to a more open aspect grass area surrounded by woodland beds and meadow areas. The the old double herbaceous borders have now been replaced by a gravel garden to cope with changing climate. It includes many drought resistant plants, shrubs, alpines, bulbs and hardy and tender plants.
