About 5 Parklands Green

1.5 acres of beautiful gardens, and an extra 3/4 acre of mature woodland with winding walks and huge compost heaps. The gardens are planted with mature and unusual trees and shrubs.

The mixed borders are a riotous mix of annuals, perennials, ferns and grasses, sown and self sown for varied colour and form, performing over a long season. There are paths winding through the main garden with steps and changes of level. Use these to discover 4 large informal ponds, 3 stocked with fish and one designed for wildlife.

Children can find the troll under the bridge and a large iron ostrich under the palm trees. Our plant stall has a growing reputation for a large selection of very varied plants at good prices, all propagated from the garden.

Changes are planned for 2025. Come and see what you think of them.
