A long, rural garden with flowing, informal planting: a patio adjoined by wide borders, a lawn beneath a large weeping willow, formal Koi pond, and an orchard with free-roaming chickens. Our 3 acre field supports our smallholding with beehives, a goat, sheep, and hens. There are polytunnels, raised beds, a wildlife pond, and areas for soft fruit, vegetables and cut flowers.
